摘要:
A therapeutic lighted catheter that can provide therapeutic light within a biological fluid passage for purposes of treatment and/or curing of materials within the passage. The catheter includes an elongated shaft having a first end and a second end positioned opposite the first end, the elongated shaft including a lumen extending substantially therebetween, and at least one light emitting element positioned within the elongated shaft. A control system is in electronic communication with the light emitting element and provides power thereto such that the powered light emitting element applies a light within the biological fluid passage for therapy and/or curing. The catheter can also include a means to apply a curable material.

The invention relates generally to intradermal, transdermal, and/or transmembrane delivery of biologically active substances in the epidermis and/or through the skin, sub-dermal tissues, blood vessels and cellular membranes without causing damage to the cellular surface, tissue or membrane. The biologically active substances may have a molecular weight no less than about 5.8 kDa to about 2,500 kDa, such as Hyaluronic Acid (HA). The biologically active substances may be deposited in a dermal patch containing a red algae polysaccharide-based matrix, wherein the red algae polysaccharide is an extract of Chondrus crispus at 2% by weight of the dermal patch. The invention provides systems and methods for enhanced intradermal, transdermal, and/or transmembrane delivery of such biologically active substances using pulsed incoherent light. The invention further provides a device for the application of the pulsed incoherent light to cellular surfaces and membranes using those compositions and methods.

A phototherapy bandage capable of providing radiation to a localized area of a patient for accelerating would healing and pain relief, photodynamic therapy, and for aesthetic applications. The phototherapy bandage may include a flexible light source that is continuous across the bandage for providing a selected light, such as a visible light, a near-infrared light, or other light, having substantially similar intensity across the bandage. The bandage may also be flexible and capable of being attached to a patient without interfering with the patient's daily routine. The phototherapy bandage may easily conform to the curves of a patient and may come in a variety of exterior shapes and sizes.
摘要:
A laser beam irradiation device is equipped with a very strict safety arrangement, thereby assuring that a user can use it safely. A hand-held applicator has a face formed on its top, and a push button switch on its side. The face has a spherical lens press-fitted in its center hole, and the face has a hollow cylinder integrally connected to its circumference, encircling the spherical lens. The hand-held applicator is applied to one's skin by the hollow cylinder at its edge. The hollow cylinder has a cylindrical electrode embedded in and somewhat projecting forward. A heat sink is placed behind the spherical lens, and a semiconductor laser diode is press-fitted in the through hole, which is made in the center of the heat sink. A cooling fan is placed behind the heat sink.

摘要:
A device for the physiotherapeutic irradiation of spatially extensive pathologies by light with the help of a matrix of the sources of optical radiation such as lasers or light diodes placed on the surface of a substrate whose shape is adequate to the shape of the zone of pathology is disclosed. In addition, the device contains stops and a holder to fix the substrate against the bioobject. Additional modules are provided to adjust the temperature, pressure, gas composition over the pathological area. As a source of radiation, chemical reactions accompanied by the luminescence of the products of reaction are suggested. The power supply unit can be autonomous with remote feeding through pulse magnetic field. A supplementary hood optically transparent is provided to localize the pathology as well as the strips that scatter the radiation to get a more uniform bioobject's exposure. Application: light-therapy to treat various extensive pathologies on the bioobject's surface including dermatology, cosmetology; the treatment of traumas, bruises, oedemas, varicose veins, blood therapy, treatment of infectious processes.
摘要:
Improved circuitry for detecting pulsed infrared light which is particularly suitable for use with laser therapeutic devices. Laser therapeutic devices generally utilize pulsed laser energy of infrared wavelengths. Because such light is invisible the operator of the therapeutic device cannot determine if it is actually working. The invention provides pulsed infrared light detection circuitry which is very compact so that it may be made part of the therapeutic device. The circuitry includes an infrared sensitive transducer coupled to the input of an inverting operational amplifier, a peak detector coupled to the output of the inverting amplifier, and a non-inverting amplifier coupled to the output of the peak detector for driving a display to indicate the detection of pulsed infrared energy.
