Publication number: 20190001148Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for phototherapy to treat skin disorders. In particular, described herein are phototherapy dressings for use with phototherapy UV light applicators (sources) to treat skin disorders such as psoriasis. The dressings described herein may include a support body onto which a medicament formed of a hydrogel and coal tar and/or coal tar extract is held. The dressing may be configured so that at least half (50%) of the UV light within a therapeutic range of wavelengths is through the dressing including the medicament to the patient's skin. The dressings may be adapted for use in conjunction with a phototherapy UV light sources.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2018Publication date: January 3, 2019Inventors: Evan ANDERSON, Christopher PELL, Stephen DUGAN, Adam MARTOS

Publication number: 20180250453Abstract: Described herein are alarm systems for suction devices for reduced pressure therapy. Alarms systems provide alerts to the patient and/or practitioner regarding the ability of the suction device to continue to provide negative pressure to a tissue region. Alarm systems comprise a sensor mechanism, which is capable of detecting the position of a slidable seal within the suction device, and generating an alert. Certain variations of alarms systems comprise magnetic field sensitive switches and/or electric switches. Other variations of alarm systems comprise rotary encoders to detect the motion and location of constant force springs, which signal the notification mechanism to issue alerts accordingly. Described herein are alarm devices configured to retain a suction device therein and to attach the suction device to a patient. The alarm devices disclosed herein detect the depleted state of the suction device and are capable of retaining the suction device in a plurality of orientations.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2018Publication date: September 6, 2018Inventors: Dean HU, Thomas YORKEY, Evan ANDERSON, Kenneth WU
