Light therapy device for treatment of the vagina and vulva
The light therapy device for treatment of the vagina and vulva includes internal and external sections. The internal section is for treatment of the vagina, the external section is for treatment of the vulva. A frame joins the two primary components of the device: an insertion structure that is covered in a pliable cover, and a flexible wrap. Insertion structure is for internal treatment of the vagina. These insertion structure includes a rigid or semi rigid body that supports two sets of leads. An external wrap provides light therapy to the vulva. The wrap includes a flexible LED array that allows the user to contour the wrap to the shape of her body while maintaining electrical continuity to avoid damage to the LEDs.
LIGHT THERAPY DEVICE
A light therapy device for the disinfection treatment of fungal, bacterial and viral infections that can be applied in real time to both living and inanimate things, inside and outside the body is provided. The light therapy device has a base unit and a diffuser cap releasably connected to the base unit, the diffuser cap has a reflector element that varies depending on the shape and size of the area to be disinfected. The main parts of the diffuser cap are: a reflector element, a connecting element and a locking element. The reflector element is positioned above the light source, directing its light to the area to be treated, its shape is adapted to the area to be treated. The spectral range of the light therapy device is between the light wavelengths of 401 and 490 nanometres, and its light intensity is between 1 and 2000 J/cm2, depending on the area to be disinfected and the degree of infection.
PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY APPARATUS FOR LOCAL TARGETING IN CANCER TREATMENT AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR
The present invention relates to a photodynamic therapy apparatus for local targeting in cancer treatment. More specifically, an endoscope is placed in the center of an end portion of a probe used in photodynamic therapy and a plurality of optical fibers are arranged along the edge thereof, so that a lesion site is irradiated with a plurality of lights while the plurality of optical fibers of the probe receive lights from individual light sources, respectively, to perform light irradiation individually. Furthermore, the present invention relates to an apparatus, wherein unnecessary damage to normal tissues is minimized by controlling light irradiation regions, for instance, by defining light irradiation regions encompassing a lesion site from an image provided in real time through an endoscope disposed at an end portion of a probe and allowing only individual light sources irradiating the defined light irradiation regions to emit lights to achieve local light irradiation. Therefore, the photodynamic therapy apparatus for local targeting of the present invention is capable of treating various types of cancers or tumors to which local treatment is applicable due to small-sized lesion sites, including cervical cancer, female cancers (endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, and breast cancer), skin cancer, brain cancer, and the like.
Device for delivering precision phototherapy
Systems and method relate to administering phototherapy. A device includes a hollow structure having at least a first open end. The hollow structure includes a rotatable member, one or more coherent light generators, and, for each coherent light generator, one or more lenses or mirrors optically connected to the coherent light generator and configured to alter at least one aspect of a beam of coherent light. The device further includes a processing circuit including a processor and a memory storing instructions. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to accept an input from an operator and generate one or more beams of coherent light according to a plurality of settings configured to produce a therapeutic effect at a targeted treatment site. Additionally, the rotatable member is configured to be rotated to direct the one or more beams of coherent light to the targeted treatment site.
Internal ultraviolet therapy
A UV light delivery device for performing intra-corporeal ultraviolet therapy is provided. The device includes an elongated body separated by a proximal end and a distal end. The device also includes a UV light source configured to be received at the receiving space. In some examples, the UV light source is configured to emit light with wavelengths with significant intensity between 320 nm and 410 nm and is utilized in conjunction with an endotracheal tube or a nasopharyngeal airway.
PORTABLE RECHARGEABLE LED RED LIGHT CAVITY HEALING DEVICES
A light-emitting diode (LED) therapy device and method of use is provided that increases healing of tissues by targeting damaged tissue at a predetermined wavelength and pulsed at a predetermined frequency. The device includes a housing and a light radiation module enclosed within the housing. The light radiation module includes an LED, a controller unit connected to the LED to control wavelength and pulsed frequency of the LED, and a rechargeable power source. The device also includes a light-diffusing member connected to the housing designed to diffuse light emitted from the LED to damaged tissue in a human cavity. Light in the red or near infrared range and pulsed at a Nogier frequency increases the effectiveness of the LED device to stimulate healing of damaged tissues. Particular devices include incorporation into a pacifier for healing an infant's gums, or nasal, auditory, vaginal, or anal cavities and adults or children.

SYSTEM FOR TISSUE ABLATION USING PULSED LASER
Systems for enabling delivery of very high peak power laser pulses through optical fibers for use in ablation procedures preferably in contact mode. Such lasers advantageously emit at 355 nm wavelength. Other systems enable selective removal of undesired tissue within a blood vessel, while minimizing the risk of damaging the blood vessel itself, based on the use of the ablative properties of short laser pulses of 320 to 400 nm laser wavelength, with selected parameters of the mechanical walls of the tubes constituting the catheter, of the laser fluence and of the force that is applied by the catheter on the tissues. Additionally, a novel method of calibrating such catheters is disclosed, which also enables real time monitoring of the ablation process. Additionally, novel methods of protecting the fibers exit facets are disclosed.
