Abstract
An attachable enclosure for a lateral lasing device comprising a fiber optic for emitting a laser beam and an exposed reflector for laterally reflecting the laser beam opposite the distal end of the fiber optic. The enclosure comprises an elongated body having a head portion with an open end and a tail portion. The elongated body defines a longitudinal flute for receiving and immobilizing the mounting stem of the lateral lasing device within its body. The hollow envelope has an open end and a fluid exit port, and is removably mounted to the head portion of the elongated body at its open end. The hollow envelope is dimensioned to surround the laser beam reflector and is in fluid flow communication with the longitudinal flute through the open end of the hollow envelope.
