Abstract
In a method of cleaning a fiber cap of a laser probe tip, a glass fiber comprising a cap body having an internal cavity and an opening to the cavity at a proximal end is provided. A particulate collecting member is also provided. An electrical charge is applied to the particulate collecting member. A distal end of the particulate collecting member is then inserted through the opening and into the cavity of the fiber cap. Particles located within the cavity are attracted to the particulate collecting member. The attracted particles attach to the particulate collecting member. The particulate collecting member is then removed from the cavity.
