Abstract
A flexible, hollow fiber for transmission of CO2 laser energy has been developed. Various forms of this fiber have been in routine clinical use for the past two years. This hollow fiber technology has shown itself to be a practical, durable, and cost-effective means of beam delivery for both freehand and endoscopic applications.
