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.

20220096861 · 2022-03-31 · ·

Embodiments enables a wearable phototherapy apparatus that produces beneficial effects to a human body such as anti-viral effects, activation of stem cells, improvement in strength, improvement in stamina, pain relief via a non-transdermal container. May include an optional transdermal container that releases or increases copper peptide GHK-Cu in a subject's body. The non-transdermal apparatus reflects or emits specific wavelengths of light to elevate levels of the copper peptide GHK-Cu in the body. The non-transdermal apparatus includes one or more materials that prevent the Left-Handed molecule from direct contact with the body while the enclosure is coupled to the body and prevents the Left-Handed molecules from entering the body. Embodiments may include or be used with any bioavailable form of copper, e.g., such as copper glycinate as an anti-viral therapy and may include an anti-inflammatory or both.

IMPLANTABLE PHOTONIC PLATFORM
20220096860 · 2022-03-31 ·

Disclosed herein is a fully flexible photonic platform based on a high density, flexible array of ultra-compact optical waveguides composed of biocompatible polymers Parylene C and PDMS. The photonic platform features unique embedded input/output micro-mirrors that redirect light from the waveguides perpendicularly to the surface of the array for localized, patterned illumination in tissue. This architecture enables the design of a fully flexible, compact integrated photonic system to realize an implantable, wearable or on-chip photonic platform for application such as in vivo chronic optogenetic stimulation of brain activity.

Intraoral phototherapy devices
11266853 · 2022-03-08 ·

Intraoral phototherapy devices receive light from an associated light source and propagate the light into an oral cavity of a patient. The device comprises a light guide that receives light from an external light source. The light guide comprises a main body portion made of an optically transparent soft flexible biocompatible polymeric material sized and shaped to conform to contours of the oral cavity when inserted therein to direct the light to targeted regions of the oral cavity. The main body portion comprises a pair of spaced apart side wings sized and shaped to be received between a patient's teeth and cheeks on opposite sides of the oral cavity and a center flap intermediate the side wings for transmitting and directing the light to targeted regions of the oral cavity. A controller delivers light to the light guide in a controlled manner.
