A mounting clip for securing a sink within an opening in a countertop having at least one side includes a body portion adapted to be secured to the sink and a flexible sink engagement section. The flexible sink engagement section includes a first and a second section. The first section is disposed proximate a first end of the body portion at an angle Arelative to the body portion. The second portion is disposed at an angle Arelative to the first section and includes a tip adapted to engage a substantially vertical face of the countertop opening. When the sink is secured in the countertop opening, the tip frictionally engages the sides of the countertop opening. The mounting clip may include a fastener for securing the clip to a mounting channel disposed on the sink, or alternatively may be secured directly to the sink.

The present invention involves a medical delivery system capable of emitting radiation with wavelengths between 190 nm and 16 um in one or more essentially directed, predetermined patterns. It includes at least one solid optical fiber, having a core and a cladding on the core. The cladding has a refractive index smaller than the core, having an input end suitably configured to connect to an appropriate radiation source and having a distal end in the proximity of which two or more grooves are penetrating into the core. The grooves have at least partial reflector capability so as to deflect radiation thereto radially in one or more predetermined patterns. The invention also includes methods of performing medical procedures utilizing the aforesaid device.

An improved configuration for a surgical laser instrument to provide the alternate contact cutting and no-contact coagulating of biological tissues by means of a fiber-optically guided irradiation of a laser is disclosed. This configuration includes instrumentation to enable discrimination between background illumination (i.e. xenon illumination scopes, room lights) and white light produced by the burning of tissue residue at the distal fiber tip. White light is described as a light having a wavelength between 0.3 to 0.9 mm. This improvement has the advantages of preventing background illumination from interfering with operation of a laser equipped with a white light feedback control device. Ultimately, this provides the surgeon with a more predictable laser delivery device which subsequently makes the laser safer to use.

Optical controller device

The present invention is directed to an adaptor for the conversion of laser connectors which will render a pre-existing laser system having an inside connector receptive to and connectable to an otherwise non-fitting generic or proprietary outside connector. This adaptor includes a locking sleeve and a captive sleeve located within the locking sleeve. The captive sleeve comprises of a pigtail attachment and a pre-existing laser system outside connector. The pigtail attachment has a forward end and a rearward end and is adapted to connect to a pre-existing laser system outside connector with extended fiber at its forward end and is adapted with connecting means for receiving a final outside connector different from the pre-existing laser system outside connector, at its rearward end. The pigtail attachment has locking means with a first position and a second position.
