A controller: performing one or more iterations of a first process, the first process including: selecting at least one variable operating parameter of a laser light source of a lithotripsy device; determining a value of each of a plurality of base settings of the at least one variable operating parameter selected; and performing, in order, for the each of the plurality of base settings: setting the at least one variable operating parameter selected to the value of the each of the plurality of base settings; and controlling the laser light source to output laser light based on the value of the each of the plurality of base settings set; selecting one of the plurality of base settings; and performing one or more iterations of a second process, the second process including controlling the laser light source based on the one of the plurality of base settings selected.

A multifiber assembly and methods of using the same in an endoscopic procedure for transmitting illumination light to, and a response signal reflected from, a target is disclosed. An exemplary device comprises a proximal end, and distal end, and a transition section between the proximal and distal ends. The proximal end includes a first connector to be connected to a light source and a second connector configured to be connected to a spectrometer. The distal end includes a shaft including at least two first optical fibers to transmit light and at least one second optical fiber to transmit a spectroscopic signal. The transition section can couple the first connector to the at least two first optical fibers, and to couple the second connector to the at least one second optical fiber.

A biocompatible, biodegradable surgical fastening device employs opposed engagement surfaces having receptacles and protrusions, in which the receptacles are responsive to the protrusions on the opposed engagement surface. The fastening device has a generally planar construction defining the engagement surface, such that each engagement surface has a proximate end for engaging the opposed engagement surface, and a distal end for attachment to an anatomical structure. The distal end of two devices each connect to anatomical structures to be joined, and the engagement surfaces joined to each other at the proximate end to complete the repair. The distal end of the engagement surface defines a flexible attachment portion having a lateral attachment width, the lateral width configured for securement to the anatomical structure across a nonlinear disposition of the lateral width. The flexible lateral width conforms around an irregular shape of an anatomical structure such as a tendon, ligament or bone.
