Systems and methods are provided for treating catheter infections. In some embodiments, a device is provided that includes a main body including a first leg configured to engage a catheter, a second leg configured to engage a drainage tube, and a third leg configured to receive one or more optical fibers, and a port coupled to the third leg. The port is configured to provide access for the one or more optical fibers and provide a seal relative to the one or more optical fibers. The one or more optical fibers are configured to disperse light energy in the catheter such that intensity of the light energy dispersed in the catheter is distributed evenly over a length of the one or more optical fibers in both longitudinal and circumferential directions.

A therapeutic chamber controls the targeted application of infrared radiation according to programs tailored to conditions or areas of the body in need of treatment. Programs are provided and may also be determined or designed by a treatment administrator or subject. An embodiment utilizes groups of carbon fiber impregnated infrared generating sheets to provide targeted radiation in an energy efficient fashion.

A medical probe for optogenetics, including a flexible substrate made of two-dimensional conductive material, a plurality of vertical-cavity surface-emitting III-V semiconductor microlasers, referred to as elementary lasers, including an active layer disposed between a lower reflective layer and an upper reflective layer, a lower semiconductor contact disposed between the lower reflective layer and the substrate, and a lower metal contact disposed on the substrate and connected to the lower semiconductor contact via the substrate, an upper semiconductor contact disposed on the upper reflective layer, and an upper metal contact connected to the upper semiconductor contact, the lower metal contacts of the elementary lasers being intended to be electrically connected to a common potential, a biocompatible encapsulation layer.

A spherical, bone or other shaped pet health device includes a 0.5% to 5% thermoplastic resin casing, equipped with a dual wavelength LED system emitting blue (400-460 nm) and red (600-670 nm) light. The device incorporates a printed circuit board (PCB) with LEDs, a voltage regulator, and a motion sensor which activates the LEDs upon impact, with light emission lasting between 4-6 minutes. Some embodiments include a capacitive touch sensor or pressure sensor to trigger the LED system. The device may be charged via USB cable or completely sealed and charged only via induction or have a removable water resistant inner compartment with removable batteries. The outer can feature texture, scent infusion and indentations for flavor agents and health supplements such as probiotics. Additional embodiments may include a vibration motor and conductive fillers in the casing to enhance signal transmission for various health promoting applications.

A light therapy device capable of providing light therapy for a user which can be used in different environments, including wet environments, and which can provide differing levels and types of light therapy provides a valuable tool to provide therapy for a user. The therapy device may include a housing having a handle structure at a first end configured to be easily graspable by hand of the user, a light source contained within a main body and a plurality of flexible silicon fingers coupled thereto which are capable of transmitting light signals to a portion of the user's body. The ends of the flexible silicon fingers create a discontinuous treatment surface that can be placed adjacent the desired area of the user's body. The device further has charging capabilities to wirelessly charge an internal rechargeable power source, and has controls allowing for operation at various light levels.

A compact IR therapeutic device having a cover, an arrangement of IR LED's, a flexible circuit board and a flexible overmold layer attached to the cover. The flexible circuit board is electrically connected to the IR LED's and provides various routine commands thereto. The flexible overmold layer secures the flexible circuit board to the cover. The IR LED's are secured to the flexible circuit board and disposed between the cover and the flexible overmold layer. The compact IR therapeutic device is adapted to be secured over a woman's nipple, and the IR LED's are illuminated to provide a therapeutic red light onto the woman's nipple for healing purposes.

Provided herein is a red light therapy (RLT) system including at least one of an RLT light bulb and an RLT panel. The RLT light bulb and the RLT panel may include at least one light emitting diode (LED) for providing at least one of red and infrared light. When the LEDs are activated, the LEDs may provide light therapy to a user. As one example, the RLT system may be used in a shower, bath, and/or sauna.
