CA 2592714
A multifunction surgical probe is disclosed, one embodiment comprising: a handpiece, operable to receive a light beam from a laser; and a firing switch operable to provide a firing control signal to cause the laser to fire and emit the light beam. The surgical prove can further comprise an interface communicatively coupled to the firing switch and operable to communicate the firing control signal to the laser. The laser can be operably coupled to a surgical console operable to control the laser, and the interface can be communicatively coupled to the firing switch and operable to communicatively couple the surgical probe to the surgical console and to communicate the firing control signal to the surgical console. The surgical console can be operable to control the laser based on the firing control signal. The surgical probe can also comprise an interlock switch operable to prevent the firing switch from firing the laser and a standby switch operable to produce a standby control signal to switch the laser between a stand-by and a ready state. The firing switch can be a progressively actuated switch operable to, at a first point in its range of motion, provide an initializing control signal operable to initialize the laser in preparation for firing and then, at a second point in its range of motion, provide the firing control signal to cause the laser to fire.
