Antimicrobial light-emitting percutaneous site dressing
An antimicrobial light dressing device, system and method for a percutaneous treatment that bathes a treatment region around the percutaneous insertion with an antibacterial illumination source for preventing pathogens around the insertion from entering via the dermal puncture created by the insertion. The antimicrobial light dressing device combines a circumferential body centered around the insertion, and an arrangement of LEDs around the body that focus the light around the insertion and onto a therapeutic region of the insertion. An opening in the circumferential body has an articulated protrusion for offsetting a medicinal vessel such as an IV tube off the skin surface to avoid blocking light to an area under the vessel.
LASER DEVICE FOR SKIN TREATMENT CAPABLE OF ADJUSTING WAVELENGTH OF DIODE LASER AND/OR DURATION OF PULSE
A laser device for skin treatment, includes: a laser generating unit including one or a plurality of diode lasers configured to generate a diode laser pulse, one or a plurality of diode laser drivers each arranged to correspond to the diode laser and configured to vary diode laser pulses generated from the diode laser into pulses having different durations, a laser amplifying unit configured to amplify the pulse transmitted from the diode laser generating unit, and a controller configured to control the diode laser generating unit and the laser amplifying unit to control a wavelength and intensity of a laser output from the laser amplifying unit.
PHOTOTHERAPY AND PHOTOBIOMODULATION DEVICE
A photobiomodulation (PBM) device including eyewear (e.g., incorporating prescription or non-prescription lenses) that is worn throughout the day is provided. The PBM device provides longer-term light delivery throughout the day and may capture patient compliance, provide real-time dose adjustments, and allow for HIPAA-compliant communication with the prescribing clinician. The PBM device provides a wearable, open eye device format designed for increased compliance, lower cost, and greater convenience.
LED ILLUMINATOR AND COMPLEXION RECOVERY METHOD USING SAME
The present invention relates to an LED illuminator including a face lens, and a complexion recovery method using same. Specifically, the present invention relates to: an LED illuminator including a face lens for controlling the direction and intensity of light radiated from an LED light source; and a method for alleviating skin aging and wrinkles by using same.
Optical systems, spectacle lens and eyewear including the same
An illumination system adapted for an eyewear that includes a light source configured to emit a first light including a power spectrum having full width at half maximum of less than 100 nm in a first range of wavelengths and a second light including a power spectrum having full width at half maximum of less than 100 nm in a second range of wavelengths, the power spectrum of the first light and the power spectrum of the second light differ from each other, and the light source is further configured to emit pulses of light with a pre-determined time function. The pre-determined time function comprises a plurality of packets, each packet of the plurality of packets being followed by a packet interval, and each packet including a pulse alternation between a pulse of the first light and a pulse of the second light.
Apparatus and method for inhibiting melatonin synthesis in a horse
An apparatus for inhibiting melatonin synthesis in a horse comprises a blinker having an internal surface of which at least a part is diffusing. A source of light is positioned for direction into the horse's eye by the diffusing-surface. The light source and diffusing surface are configured such that the light directed into the horse's eye is blue.
THERAPY SYSTEM FOR TRANSCUTANEOUS IN-VIVO TISSUE ENGINEERING
The present invention relates to a therapy system for the treatment of the skin and subdermis with light. The system comprises a NIR light source which produces light with a wavelength adapted to an absorption maximum for exciting molecular oxygen in aqueous solution; an image recognition unit for detecting papillary end arterioles and their x-y-z coordinates, wherein a respective depth underneath the skin surface is determined as the z-coordinate by an autofocus function; an optical system for the optical coupling of the light of the NIR light source and the pattern recognition unit to the skin, with a focussing unit to controllably position the light with at least one focus point in the skin; and a control unit to control the NIR light source, the image recognition unit, and the optical system.
Pneumatic compression device with vibration and temperature control
A pneumatic compression assembly that includes a sleeve having an outer layer and an inner layer that defines a sleeve interior configured to receive a body part of a user, and at least a first vibration assembly configured to provide vibration to the body part of the user. A plurality of inflatable compartments are arranged longitudinally along the sleeve between the inner layer and the outer layer. The first vibration assembly includes a plurality of vibration motors positioned between the inner layer and the outer layer of the sleeve.
Device and method to activate cell structures by means of electromagnetic energy
An implantable device for implantation in a human body or animal body. The device includes an energy source, an energy storage device, and an electronics unit. Further, an actuator is coupled with the energy storage device and it is configured to emit electromagnetic waves by discharging the energy storage device.
Photodynamic therapy technique for preventing damage to the fovea of the eye or another body portion of a patient
A photodynamic therapy technique for preventing damage to the fovea of the eye or another body portion of a patient is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a treatment laser is applied to a body portion of a patient using a painting technique, the treatment laser being configured to provide paint brush-type photodynamic therapy (PPDT) using the painting technique to the body portion of the patient by emitting light of a predetermined wavelength that is absorbed by tissue of the body portion of the patient to which a photosensitizer has been applied, the body portion of the patient being afflicted by a medical condition. The application of the treatment laser to the body portion of a patient using the painting technique treats the medical condition, reduces the symptoms associated with the medical condition, and/or alleviates the medical condition.
