Abstract
A two component laser delivery system for surgical and endoscopic applications including a reuseable head portion for insertion into the laser generating apparatus and a disposable optic guide portion. The disposable optic guide portion is provided with a cylindrical retainer adapted to be received and locked into the reuseable portion. The reuseable portion includes a housing and a lense barrel, the lense barrel adapted to automatically retract into the housing when the disposable optic guide is removed thereby to preclude actuation of the laser interlock switch.
