Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent smokes and fires from an area under laser surgery using a laser surgical instrument by blowing the inert gas thereagainst, and to realize a feasible easy and safe environment for surgery. SOLUTION: An inert gas blowing part 3 is mounted close to a tip 2 of an optical fiber 4 to irradiate the laser beam so that the laser surgery can be achieved while blowing the inert gas against the location for surgery.

The reason why the laser irradiation emits smoke or ignites from the tissue at the surgical site is that oxygen-containing air is present in the surroundings. Therefore, if the surgical site is blown with an inert gas such as argon gas and the air is expelled from the surgical site, the laser does not emit smoke or ignite even if the tissue is irradiated with the laser.

[Function] Since the present invention has the above structure, when using it, a laser is irradiated to a surgical site while blowing an inert gas. At this time, the surgical site to which the laser is irradiated is used. Does not emit smoke or ignite because air containing oxygen is replaced by an inert gas.
