    摘要: A light transmission system to provide photodynamic treatment to a patient includes a single use integrated control module and catheter assembly having a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) to transmit light toward target cells within a patient. The integrated light catheter and control module are used in combination with a light activated drug. Selected operating parameters may be programmed into the control module, or it may be wirelessly programmable in situ prior to use to allow user flexibility to tailor treatment for a particular patient or condition. Among the features that prevent reuse are that the control module lacks access to recharge the power source, and it may include a deactivation module that destroys circuitry or software when triggered. To prevent patient interference when in use, the control module may also be configured to selectively deactivate.

    摘要: A method of manufacture and medical apparatus that provides an apparatus useful in illuminating at least a portion of a lumen of a body. The apparatus includes an elongated flexible member and a polymer encasement portion encasing a plurality of light emitters. The light emitters may be electrically coupled to one another without the use of wire bonds, and in some embodiments may be coupled without intervening electrical paths or traces. A maximum cross-sectional dimension of the polymer encasement portion may be less than twice a dimension of one of the light emitters. In some embodiments the maximum cross-sectional dimension is less than or equal to the sum of the dimension of one of the light emitters and a marginal dimension by which an outer portion of the polymer encasement portion extends beyond the light emitter. Light emitters may be arranged linearly, helically or in partially overlapping back-to-back relation.

    摘要: A system and method for excitation of photosensitizers is configured to provide desired illumination on targeted eye tissue. The excitation system includes an optical module that generates illumination and a controller to power the optical module and control the shape, intensity or energy level, and duration of the illumination. The optical module includes a contact portion for interfacing with the eye, a treatment beam portion including a light emitter array to generate shaped light patterns and optics to focus the light patterns onto the eye, and a visualization portion to provide visual feedback of treatment through a visualization interface coupled with a microscope. A typical treatment involves the optical module being placed on a diseased eye of a patient by a clinician to project illumination on a diseased portion of the eye. The clinician typically views the eye through the microscope and the optical module during treatment.
