A connector for an optical fiber includes a first coupling element threadedly secured to a second coupling element such that the first coupling element and second coupling element define a lumen. A collet configured to receive a portion of the optical fiber is disposed in the lumen such that the collet holds the optical fiber in place with respect to the first and second coupling elements. An adjustable ferrule is threadedly secured to the proximal end of the second coupling element and is rotatable with respect to the second coupling element to translate a proximal end of the adjustable ferrule longitudinally with respect to a proximal end of the optical fiber. A connector element is secured to the proximal end of the second coupling element with the adjustable ferrule and is rotatable with respect to the second coupling element.

Abstract:
A cannula for a liposuction device includes a laser energy source for liquefying, emulsifying or softening fatty tissue at the cutting windows inside the distal tip end of the cannula. The energy source provides laser energy through an optical fiber positioned within said interior region of the cannula and extending though the cannula and having an end located at the distal tip end of the cannula adjacent the cutting windows. Fat is emulsified, liquefied or softened by the energy emitted into tissue at the cutting windows of the cannula and is removed by aspiration. In a confined laser beam power assisted embodiment, the openings in the cannula shear or cut neighboring fat tissue and the radiant energy at the cutting windows softens and/or emulsifies the tissue.
