Abstract

A laser guide comprising an outer sheath enveloping a series of sections of aser material in end-to-end relationship, the sections being angled to one another along the length of the guide and arranged so that a laser beam projected from one section enters the next successive section, thereby allowing transmission of the beam along the guide without significant loss of intensity.
