BIOLASE Technology Inc. announced in a Thursday press release that it has been granted two new US patents related to technologies that are central to the use of consumable laser tips to deliver therapy to patients across a range of dental and other medical specialties.
Patent No. 7,421,186, entitled Modified-Output Fiber Tips, covers laser tips that can be configured to direct energy in multiple directions including to the sides, away from the handpiece.

Patent No. 7,424,199, entitled Fiber Tip Fluid Output Device, covers the situating of a fiber tip within an electromagnetic cutting instrument as well as directing water particles over the delivery end of that fiber tip. Source
