    Continuum has both a straight pen handpiece and a contra-angle handpiece.

    I dont use the contra angle as with the scope its harder to see around.

    I think the tips for the ConBio laser are around 50 us now.

    In addition there is a metal sheath that the tips go into and this slides on what you saw in the pics.

    The sheath comes off very easily and the tip can be slid inside it and placed in the Statim.

    I dont know how the contra angle works but it fits on the existing fiber.

    Hoya is the company behind Con Bio and they are a fiberoptic company so guess what is the strong point of the laser………..the fiber.

    They just dont burn out very often.

    As for being careful, I am not so careful at all.

    The handpiece is a cool thing for most but as I said for me it is a waste.

    I don’t know jack about any of this but I do know it sure sounds like I would rather be using a pen handpiece than a 90deg. Fewer parts, simpler design mean less costly maintenence problems.
    Thank you all for your observations.
