  • Antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation procedure and system
    Patent number: 11135445
    Abstract: A problem of incomplete inhibition of harmful cells/bacteria and short duration of time, after the photodynamic treatment, during which such cells may re-grow, is solved by exposing the target bacteria with a multi-component photosensitizer material formed by adding a predetermined potentiating chemical to a conventional single-component photosensitizer at the target, prior to irradiating the target with light. The multi-component photosensitizer is effectuated by forming a mix of the two chemical compositions or by sequential exposure of the bacteria to a single-component photosensitizer and the potentiating chemical of choice.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 15, 2019
    Date of Patent: October 5, 2021
    Assignee: The General Hospital Corporation
    Inventors: Daniela Vecchio, Michael R. Hamblin, Yingying Huang, Liyi Huang, Giacomo Landi, Jeffrey A. Gelfand, Timothy Brauns
