1. Use of a coated fiber (should not use the stripper)
(Left) A unstripped laser fiber with blue fiber sheath
(Middle) A laser fiber without blue fiber sheath
(Right) Balltip laser fiber
2. Use of a balltip laser fiber
Insertion of a balltip laser fiber into a flexible URS is possible when the deflection angle is < about 200 degrees. Therefore, we should insert the laser fiber first and then perform the maximal deflection into 270 degrees.
3. Use of a laser fiber protector
