5.7 Stripping the Fiber
The jacket of a clean and disinfected fiber can be removed easily with your fingers.
When the laser emits from the fiber tip, it is easy to retain debris from tissue
splattering and the fiber tip becomes blackened and deteriorated. When the
blackened tip extends 3-4 mm up the fiber shaft, it is time to cleave the fiber and
prepare a new tip for the next procedure. Reference cleaving procedures in this
manual.
The stripping procedures are conveyed below:
A. Hold the fiber by one hand and grasp the portion which will be stripped by the
thumb nail and index finger of another hand.
B. Stretch the fiber with the fingers by applying pressure to the nails. With a slow
steady force, remove the jacket of 10 to 20mm.
C. Repeat to remove the cladding about 5-6cm up the shaft from the tip.
