How does one know when it is time to cut or “cleave” the fiber?
It is time to cut or cleave the fiber • Before re-using a fiber for a new patient, and before re-sterilizing. • If during a surgical procedure the fiber tip does not seem to be delivering the energy in as effective a manner as at the beginning of the procedure. • If the red light test or aiming beam does not produce a clear, concise circular spot.
