Publication number: 20220355127Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2022Publication date: November 10, 2022Applicant: Acuity Innovation and Design, LLCInventor: Laurence A.

Patent number: 11439839Abstract: 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 device comprises a handpiece, a plurality of emitter heads, and a base. 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 one embodiment, the tip is integral with the emitter head and emits light to the side of the device, perpendicular to the handpiece. The device is prohibited from emitting light when too far from a surface. Some embodiments have disposable tips of various shapes that attach to the emitter heads, which permits a single device to direct the emitted energy at nearly any direction and be used in a variety of applications.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2017Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Acuity Innovation and Design, LLCInventors: Laurence A Harlan, Yoram Weiss

Patent number: 10314670Abstract: A dental mirror permits the mirror face to be flipped from a first angle to a second angle relative to the handle, while the tool is still in the patient's mouth. Mirror and handle connect at a pivot point that is spaced away from the handle's distal end. The neck of the mirror has a detent nub that mates with recesses in the neck of the handle for positioning and holding the mirror in place relative to the handle. The mirror can be shifted from one position to another by pushing or pulling the mirror against the patient's cheek while the mirror is still in the patient's mouth, as the nub slides from one recess to another. In one embodiment the mirror is flipped from a position 145 degrees relative to the handle to 90 degrees relative to the handle. Stops are incorporated to limit angular travel at either position.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2017Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Acuity Innovation and Design, LLCInventor: Laurence Harlan
