Abstract A laser therapeutic apparatus having an oscillator for generating a laser beam, a condenser lens for condensing the laser beam radiated from the oscillator, a plurality of optical fiber cables for guiding the condensed laser beam, and a probe connected to the distal end of each of the optical fiber cables to apply the laser beam to an affected part of a human body. The probe may be detachably connected to the distal end of the optical fiber through an optical connector. A plurality of optical fibers may have their respective laser beam emergent ends dispersedly disposed over the distal end portion of a probe casing constituting the probe. There may be prepared detachable cap-shaped attachments having various sizes which are conformable with various affected parts of patients, and a selected one of the attachments may be attached to the distal end portion of the probe casing. Thus, it is possible to carry out laser therapy efficiently and effectively.
A probe, for connection to a laser beam source to irradiate the skin of a patient, comprising: a plurality of individually encased optical fibers, each of said optical fibers having a laser beam emergent end and each being separately connectable and detachable from a laser beam source; and a spring clip connectable to said laser beam emergent ends for disposal around the digit of a patient to hold said laser beam emergent ends at locations remote from each other so that when the spring clip is disposed on the digit of a patient the laser beam emergent ends are disposed for irradiating various spaced apart areas of the digit.
