Abstract
A shapeable optical fiber apparatus includes an optical fiber, a support structure secured over a distal end portion of the optical fiber, and terminates in a lens at its distal end. The transition area between the lens and optical fiber is reinforced with a sleeve that is adhesively bonded to the lens and fiber. The shapeable optical fiber apparatus may be carried within an inflatable balloon dilation catheter, which may be used for balloon angioplasty after a laser cutting procedure using the shapeable optical fiber apparatus to remove a portion of stenosis in the patient's vasculature.
