Abstract
An endoscopic laser coagulator provides laser beam irradiation in an oblique direction relative to the axis of the insertion tube of the endoscope and includes an insertion tube having a leading end adapted to be introduced into the body and an elongate laser beam conducting fibre extending through the insertion tube. The laser beam conducting fibre is bent at a region proximate to the leading end of the insertion tube such that an oblique laser beam irradiation is obtained relative to the axis of the insertion tube.
