An improved wound honey using a combination of buckwheat honey, honeydew honey, a natural thickening agent of blackstrap molasses and tangerine puree, and fragrance comprising lavender essential oil. The wound honey is sterilized using a flowing UV light sanitizing system. The bottles are disinfected using a combination parecetic acid, formic acid, vanillin, clove essential oil, monolaurin, aloe vera, and hydrogen peroxide disinfectant. The product comes in a container with a pump dispenser that dispenses a quantifiable amount of product. This new wound honey with pump dispenser may be used multiple times, is cheaper than manuka honey, and may be produced outside of New Zealand and Australia.

An irradiation device includes a fluid treatment chamber having first and second opposing sides configured to receive a biological fluid container therebetween, and at least one light source disposed adjacent at least one of the first and second sides of the fluid treatment chamber. The at least one light source includes a light guide having a front planar surface that defines in part the at least one of the first and second sides of the fluid treatment chamber, and at least one light emitting diode (LED) disposed at an edge of the light guide outside the fluid treatment chamber and configured to direct light into the light guide. The light guide has a back surface opposite the front planar surface, the back surface with one or more reflectors that depend into the light guide in the direction of the front surface.

A skin care device can include a body including a battery and a grip electrode electrically connected to the battery, and a head connected to one end of the body. The head includes a contact electrode electrically connected to the battery and configured to come in contact with a skin of a user, and at least one ultraviolet light source disposed inside the head to face the contact electrode. Further, the contact electrode includes a fastening part fastened to the head and having at least one hole formed therein to correspond to the at least one ultraviolet light source, and a plurality of contact protrusions protruding from a top surface of the fastening part.

Certain exemplary embodiments can provide an apparatus and method for generating at least one radiation. The exemplary apparatus and/or method can selectively kill and/or affect at least one bacteria. For example, a radiation source first arrangement can be provided which is configured to generate at least one radiation having one or more wavelengths provided in a range of about 190 nanometers (nm) to about 230 nm, and at least one second arrangement can be provided which is configured to prevent the at least one radiation from having any wavelength that is outside of the range.

An apparatus for decontaminating and storing lab instruments such as pipettes. A carousel feature of the apparatus provides convenient access and allows multiple items to be decontaminated at the same time. The ultraviolet lamp directs UV radiation to surface contaminations of the instruments and effectively eliminates various microorganisms.

The present invention is a device for sterilizing microorganisms on a liquid or solid substrate. The device includes a light source for producing a light and an optical device positioned proximate the light source. The optical device is configured to focus the light generated by the light source to provide a high intensity light output. The optical device also includes a dichroic reflector. The dichroic reflector is configured to pass thermal energy generated by the light source and reflect the light produced by the light source. The device also includes a power supply, where the power supply is coupled to the light source and the optical device. The device thereby killing microbial organisms presented within the range of the high intensity light output.

The present invention relates to a device for applying medical and cosmetic radiation to a human body or to parts thereof. Said radiation is preferably optical radiation. The device according to the invention comprises at least one first illuminant for producing the medical and cosmetic radiation. The device also comprises a first air flow for cooling an illuminant and a second air flow for cooling the human body or parts thereof. The device comprises at least one air-conditioning system, which is fluidically connected to the second air flow and designed for the air-conditioning treatment of the air flow. The device is characterized in that the device also has at least one disinfecting chamber, which is fluidically connected to the second air flow and is designed to physically disinfect the second air flow. The invention also relates to a method for operating such a device and to a corresponding disinfecting chamber.

Disclosed herein are a sterilization module and a sterilization system including the same. The sterilization module includes a light source emitting germicidal light to kill pathogens in living cells. The living cells may include living cells and the pathogens. In addition, the germicidal light may be light in a wavelength band capable of ensuring a viability of 70% or more for the normal cells and a viability of less than 70% for the pathogens.

A method includes collecting used dialysis fluid in a container and combining the dialysis fluid with an acid to lower the pH value of the used dialysis fluid.

Provided are systems and methods for treating a biological fluid, e.g., to inactivate pathogens.
