ROBOTIC DEBRIDEMENT AND PERFORATING OF NAILS BASED ON SURFACE AND/OR THICKNESS SCANNING APPARATUS
The present disclosure features systems and devices for robotic debridement and perforating of finger- and toenails, as well as methods of use of the same. The systems and devices may be used for in the treatment of fungal infection of the nail, as well as for cosmetic uses, e.g., pedicure and manicure.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PHOTOTHERAPEUTIC MODULATION OF NITRIC OXIDE
Systems and methods for phototherapeutic modulation of nitric oxide in mammalian tissue include use of a first wavelength and first radiant flux of light to stimulate enzymatic generation of nitric oxide, and use of a second wavelength and second radiant flux of light to stimulate release of nitric oxide from endogenous stores of nitric oxide. Pulsed light and/or partially non-overlapping light impingement windows may be used. Non-coherent light impinged on tissue may include a peak wavelength in a range of from 410 nm to 440 nm in the absence of light emissions having a peak wavelength of from 600 nm to 900 nm.
METHOD FOR TREATING NOCICEPTIVE PAIN AND BURNS WITH BRAZILIAN GREEN PROPOLIS ALCOHOL EXTRACT
A method for treating or preventing nociceptive pain by administering an ethanol extract of Brazilian green propolis and compositions comprising this extract.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PHOTOTHERAPY CONTROL
A phototherapy system for treating a user can include an applicator, a controller, and a communication cable configured to couple the applicator and the controller. The applicator can include a light source, a thermal sensor, and a fan. The controller can be in communication with the applicator. The controller can be configured to receive a predetermined treatment regimen to be applied to the user via the applicator. A method for treating skin presenting psoriasis includes providing a phototherapy system. The user can select a skin type on the controller. The use can place the applicator adjacent to the skin presenting psoriasis, eczema, or vitiligo. The user can receive a light therapy treatment from the applicator, whereby the psoriasis, eczema, or vitiligo has been treated.
Non-invasive systems and methods for selective activation of photoreactive responses
Products, compositions, systems, and methods for modifying a target structure which mediates or is associated with a biological activity, including treatment of conditions, disorders, or diseases mediated by or associated with a target structure, such as a virus, cell, subcellular structure or extracellular structure. The methods may be performed in situ in a non-invasive manner by application of an initiation energy to a subject thus producing an effect on or change to the target structure directly or via a modulation agent. The methods may further be performed by application of an initiation energy to a subject in situ to activate a pharmaceutical agent directly or via an energy modulation agent, optionally in the presence of one or more plasmonics active agents, thus producing an effect on or change to the target structure. Kits containing products or compositions formulated or configured and systems for use in practicing these methods.
Skin care device
Provided is a skin care device including a head part brought into contact with skin of a user, a battery configured to supply power for operation of the head part, a body part having a fastening portion provided at one end to which the head part is fastened and provided with the battery therein, and a cap assembly detachably attached to one end of the body part and forming an accommodation space configured to accommodate the head part, wherein the cap assembly includes a sterilization module disposed to irradiate ultraviolet light toward the head part when the cap assembly accommodates the head part.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AESTHETIC TREATMENT
Provided herein is a multifunctional aesthetic system including a housing, an electromagnetic array situated in the housing and having one or more electromagnetic radiation (EMR) sources, a controller in electronic communication with the array to operate the one or more of the EMR sources to direct the EMR beam to a treatment area, and one or more sensors in electronic communication with the controller for providing feedback to the controller based on defined parameters to allow the controller to adjust at least one operating condition of the multifunctional system in response to the feedback.
WOUND CARE METHOD, SYSTEM, AND DEVICES
A device and method for disinfecting and/or enhancing healing of a wound or surgical site facilitates placing a light-emitting device with a frame having a central void, the central void adapted to surround the wound or surgical site; an illumination source disposed on the frame for directing safe, therapeutic light centrally towards the underlying wound or surgical site; and the transparent central void enabling visualization and clinical monitoring of the underlying wound or surgical site.
Systems and methods for determining cross-linking distribution in a cornea and/or structural characteristics of a cornea
In a corneal measurement system, an optical element focuses an excitation light to an area of corneal tissue at a selected depth. In response, a fluorescing agent applied to the cornea generates a fluorescence emission. An aperture of a pinhole structure selectively transmits the fluorescence emission from the area of corneal tissue at the selected depth. A detector captures the selected fluorescence emission transmitted by the aperture and communicates information relating to a measurement of the selected fluorescence emission captured by the detector. A controller receives the information from the detector and determines a measurement of the fluorescing agent in the area of corneal tissue at the selected depth. The system may include a scan mechanism that causes the optical element to scan the cornea at a plurality of depths, and the controller may determine a measurement of the fluorescing agent in the cornea as a function of depth.
