Interface connector handle for disposable guidewire optical connection
First Claim
1. An interface connector handle for connecting a first optical fiber to a second optical fiber, the first optical fiber being bonded within a proximal portion of a guidewire tubing, the guidewire being disconnectable from the interface connector handle, the second optical fiber being routed through and extending from an optical interface cable, the interface connector handle comprising:
- a biasing assembly which causes a relative movement between the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber to provide a contact therebetween.

Abstract
The present document describes an interface connector handle for connecting a first optical fiber to a second optical fiber. The first optical fiber is substantially centered within a proximal portion of a guidewire tubing. The second optical fiber is routed through and extending from an optical interface cable. The interface connector handle comprises a biasing assembly for urging one of the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber toward the other one of the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber resulting in a contact therebetween.
