| 20100241038 | Phototherapy Method for Assisting Transvenous Lead Placement - A phototherapy method for assisting the transvenous lead placement for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and dilation of occluded veins for any implantable lead placement. The phototherapy treatment helps increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and enhance angiogenesis to facilitate optimal positioning of the leads. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100286576 | Photo Therapy and Massage Apparatus for Relieving Pain in Body Cavities - A photo therapy and massage apparatus for relieving pain in a patient's body cavity. The photo therapy and massage apparatus comprises a light source to produce therapeutic light and a hollow massage wand capable to be inserted into the patient's body cavity to provide mechanical massage to the tissue inside the body cavity. An optical light guide with its proximal end coupled to the light source and its distal end embedded in the hollow massage wand is used to deliver the therapeutic light from the light source to the massage wand. The distal end of the optical light guide is configured to emit the therapeutic light from a side surface. The therapeutic light then transmits through the hollow massage wand to treat the tissue inside the body cavity. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20110009852 | Laser Safety Goggles for Animals - A laser protection device that can stay tightly on an animal by going over its head and eyes using a flexible material such as nylon. The device has polymer or glass windows that are designed to block or attenuate the treatment light in order to protect the eyes of the animal from laser damage. As an integral feature, the windows are partially transparent in the visible spectrum to allow the animal to see its surroundings. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110020173 | Laser Disinfection Apparatus with Spectroscopic Sensor - A laser disinfection apparatus with a spectroscopic sensor for performing real-time monitoring of the apparatus's effectiveness. The spectroscopic sensor measures optical spectra of the biological tissue and obtains the concentration of the bacterial/fungal cells by tracking the intensity variation of a fingerprint region of the optical spectra. The acquired bacterial concentration information is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the laser treatment as well as to provide feed-back control of the laser parameters to obtain the optimum disinfection result. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110144724 | Phototherapy Apparatus And Method For Tissue Repair - Apparatus and method for applying phototherapy treatment after the use of a bio-scaffold or a bio-implant. Bio-scaffolds are used to regenerate tissue and help the body use its own cell in tissue repair. Phototherapy treatment promotes and speeds up this process by enhancing cell proliferation and differentiation, collagen production/synthesis, fibroblast activity, etc. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20110144725 | Phototherapy Apparatus With Interactive User Interface - A phototherapy apparatus with interactive user interface for treating biological tissue of an animal or human target. The user interface comprises intuitive graphic menus which allow the clinicians or practitioners to define the properties of the biological tissue through easily observable physical characteristics such as weight, skin color, and hair color of the patient. The central control unit of the phototherapy apparatus then automatically optimizes the parameters of the light source according to the properties of the biological tissue and generates an appropriate treatment protocol to produce the optimum phototherapy result. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20110144726 | Method For Performing Phototherapy - An improved method for performing phototherapy. The method comprises a step of applying a supplement to the patient before/after light treatment, which produces nitric oxide in the subject biological tissue to be treated. The nitric oxide serves as signaling molecules to cause vasodilatation and increase blood flow and micro-circulation in the biological tissue so as to enhance the effect and reduce the required treatment time of phototherapy. | 06-16-2011 |

The device has polymer or glass windows that are designed to block or attenuate the treatment light in order to protect the eyes of the animal from laser damage. As an integral feature, the windows are partially transparent in the visible spectrum to allow the animal to see its surroundings. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080262394 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR PHOTOTHERAPY - There is provided a phototherapy apparatus, in which the therapeutic light is delivered through or in proximity to one or more massage components. The massage component provides mechanical massage to the subject biological tissue and modifies the properties of the subject tissue in thickness, density, etc. to facilitate the absorption of the therapeutic light and enhance the effect of the phototherapy procedure. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20080306472 | LASER APPARATUS WITH INTEGRATED FOOTSWITCH CONTROL - A laser apparatus is disclosed. The laser apparatus can be placed on the ground of an operation site to save precious desktop space. The laser apparatus comprises a footswitch module physically integrated or combined with the laser module for controlling the status of the laser module. The laser apparatus further comprises a miniature control unit, which can be clipped onto the pocket of the operator or be integrated or combined on the hand piece of the laser apparatus for controlling and displaying status of the laser module. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090012587 | MEDICAL LASER APPARATUS WITH ENHANCED DISINFECTION FUNCTION - A laser apparatus is provided for medical applications or procedures, which include laser surgery, photo dynamic therapy, photo bio-modulation, etc. The output wavelength of the laser matches with the absorption band of oxygen molecule to produce highly reactive singlet oxygen from air or an oxygen enriched environment. The singlet oxygen is used as a strong oxidizer to kill bacteria. The properties of the laser such as power intensity, beam divergence, spectral linewidth, etc. are optimized for effective photo treatment of biological tissue as well as for efficient singlet oxygen generation. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090082759 | LASER APPARATUS FOR THE REDUCTION OF PAIN AND INFLAMMATION CAUSED BY INJECTIONS - This invention discloses a laser apparatus to be used pre, during, and/or post medical injections for the reduction of pain caused by the injection. Applications include cosmetic injections such as Botox or dermal filling, mesotherapy, immunization shots, etc. The laser apparatus may comprise a wand or pad/bandage through which laser treatment can be applied to the injection area. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090299236 | Apparatus and Methods for Phototherapy - There is provided a phototherapy apparatus, in which the therapeutic light is delivered through one or more massage components.
