A stimulation system includes an energy source, an electronics unit with a controller, and an actuator that is coupled with the electronics unit and/or the energy source. The actuator emits electromagnetic waves for stimulation of genetically manipulated tissue. The electronics unit is disposed in a housing. The stimulation system is configured for at least temporary implantation in a human or animal body. The controller controls the stimulation of tissue in the body by way of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the actuator. A selector of the stimulation system selects the area of the said tissue for stimulation. The selector includes a masking device for masking certain areas of the tissue, so that an intensity of the stimulation for the masked areas is reduced or equal to zero.

An embodiment discloses a mask apparatus including a cover mask having a curvature corresponding to a shape of a face of a user and a plurality of light-emitting modules arranged in the cover mask to irradiate light to the face of the user.

Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) can be applied to a tender area on a subject's body to treat fibromyalgia. A light source device can be contacted to a subject's skin proximal to a tender area on the subject's body. A light signal (with wavelengths from the red to infrared part of the spectrum) can be applied in at least one of a pulsed operating mode, a continuous operating mode, and a super-pulsed operating mode through the light source device to the tender area. The light signal is applied for a time sufficient to stimulate a phototherapeutic response in the tender area to treat fibromyalgia.

A catheter is disclosed for performing ultraviolet light therapy in a pulmonary system of a patient, which includes a catheter body having opposed proximal and distal end portions, a handle assembly operatively associated with the proximal end portion of the catheter body, an illumination assembly operatively associated with the distal end portion of the catheter body and including an LED light source for generating UVC radiation, wherein the illumination assembly includes a coupler connecting the LED light source with the distal end portion of the catheter body, and an elongated braided sleeve disposed within the catheter body, wherein the coupler is adapted to transfer heat from the illumination assembly to the braided sleeve, such that the braided sleeve serves as a heat sink for the illumination assembly.

A hand-held light treatment device configured with interchangeable emitter heads that are pre-programmed with desired treatment protocols and updated from a remote store of treatment protocols. The removable emitter heads each contain one or more treatment LEDs, a tracking light, a task light, a proximity sensor, and a control module. A tip is attached to the emitter head, either removably or integral therewith. In in one embodiment, the tip is integral with the emitter head and emits light perpendicular to the handle. Some embodiments have tips of various shapes that attach to the emitter heads, which permits a single device to direct the emitted energy at nearly any direction. The tips can be disposable or reusable. The light-emitting device may be used in conjunction with distilled water to treat infections, sterilize wounds or to minimize infection prior to surgical closure.

The present application is directed to devices, assemblies, systems and methods for targeting one or more sites with electromagnetic radiation. The devices, assemblies and systems are operationally configured to transform and convey electromagnetic radiation to one or more targeted sites. The devices, assemblies and systems may also convey one or more fluids or fluid solutions to the one or more targeted sites.

An object of the present invention is to provide a chair-type phototherapy device that enables a patient to perform light irradiation accurately targeted at a treatment site in a seated position on a chair and consequently achieves effective phototherapy even when the treatment site is in the back region that the patient is unable to see, for example, as in light irradiation for dysuria patients and patients with pain, and the patient performs light irradiation by himself/herself at home. The present invention provides a chair-type phototherapy device having a seat on which a patient is seated. The chair-type phototherapy device includes a radiation module configured to emit radiation light toward a living body, a drive module positioned behind the patient for moving the radiation module, and a fixing module fixing the drive module to the seat.

A balloon catheter comprising: a first shaft having a first lumen and a second lumen; a second shaft located distal to the first shaft; a balloon located distal to the second shaft; and a tubular member that is disposed inside the balloon and has a light transmittance of 90% or more; wherein: the first shaft is made of a resin; a cross-sectional area of the resin forming the first shaft is larger than a cross-sectional area of either the first lumen or the second lumen, which has a larger cross-sectional area, in a cross section perpendicular to a longitudinal direction; a proximal end of the tubular member is joined to a distal end of the first lumen; a proximal end of the balloon is joined to the second shaft; and a distal end of the balloon is joined to the tubular member.

A laser treatment system includes a laser device configured to produce a laser beam at a wavelength in an ultraviolet spectrum to provide for tissue ablation, a lens configured to focus and direct the laser beam to a site to form an opening in a surface of the site, a valve connected to a first channel, and a nozzle that emits the laser beam and controls delivery of at least a first substance and a second substance to the site. A portion of the first channel is disposed within a first sidewall of the nozzle to deliver the first substance, and a second channel unconnected with the valve is disposed within a second sidewall of the nozzle to deliver the second substance.

A medical skin wrinkle reduction device using an RRSS laser irradiation method is proposed to reduce skin wrinkles and minimize tissue damage. The device includes: a main body having a mounting groove provided in an upper portion thereof, a tablet computer being attached to and detached from the mounting groove, and comprising signal transmission and reception parts exchanging signals with the tablet computer, and a microcomputer controlling an output of a laser beam; a handpiece comprising: a laser oscillation part generating the laser beam; an optical part emitting the laser beam as parallel light; a laser scanner controlling an irradiation position of the laser beam transmitted from the optical part; a laser pattern part having movement coordinate values set therein such that moving direction of the laser beam has a regular pattern; a tablet computer having functions of inputting data in a touch screen method and displaying a screen.
