CA 2639379

A probe having a flexible, small diameter fiber sheathed in a small diameter flexible tube comprising the distal tip of the probe. The small diameters of the fiber and tube allow the fiber to be bent in a tighter radius along essentially the entire length of the exposed portion of the fiber, with low tube bending forces during insertion, providing a compact design which eliminates the need for a straight distal portion. The small diameter tube also allows a greater wall thickness outer cannula to be used, thereby increasing instrument rigidity. This compact, rigid design with low insertion forces allows the fiber greater access to the internal posterior structures of the eye, while providing increased instrument rigidity for manipulation of the eye, as well as low insertion forces.
