MED-Fibers surgical laser fibers is indicated for use in general surgery, urology, gastroenterology, gynecology, dermatology, vascular surgery, neurosurgery, plastic surgery, ENT/otolaryngology, endovenous occlusion of the greater saphenous vein in the patient with superficial vein reflux and laser assisted lipolysis with an approved compatible laser marketed for use in the desired application.

#### Technical Characteristics

MED-Fibers surgical laser delivery system fibers contains the same components and the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices. The fiber core and cladding or fibers with no cladding are made from silica which is the same material used in all the predicate devices. As mentioned, the optical fiber is made out of silica with a coaxially mounted protective sheath. The fiber distal tip can be several configurations and the fiber can be used with hand pieces. MED-Fibers surgical laser delivery system fibers has no differences in technology and as such does not raise any new questions on safety or efficacy. Various core diameter sizes (200, 272, 365, 550, 600, 800 and 1000 microns) are offered.

## Performance Data

The performance of the MED-Fibers surgical laser fiber delivery systems is well established and documented so no performance testing is included. The MED-Fibers surgical laser fiber delivery system operates in the same manner as the predicate devices and performs with no difference as compared with the predicate devices.
