  • Publication number: 20230165995
    Abstract: A device for sterilizing air from any bacterium, virus, dust or other organic or non-organic body present in the air of a public or private space, using a sterilization chamber having a laser beam filter is provided. A dense network of laser beams which saturate the sterilization chamber is created. The air forced to go through the sterilization chamber causes every small particle, bacterium and virus of any size to impact on the laser beams, pulverizing, destroying and/or neutralizing itself completely by the large beam energy irradiated for a time ranging from 0.5 to 2 seconds.

  • Patent number: 11273322
    Abstract: An apparatus for laser therapy comprises a frame on which a plurality of lasers slide at several wavelengths in motorized and automated manner for applying the laser on and through the skin and mucous membranes of a patient. The frame is also motorized, allowing installation on the patient without moving the patient from bed. The apparatus is programmed to determine treatment autonomously on the basis of parameters determined by the apparatus during pretreatment and to vary treatment parameters in real time for treatment optimization and safety purposes.

  • Publication number: 20150140504
    Abstract: In dentistry very often soft tissue has to be cut. It has become customary to cut soft tissue, in particular gum or gingiva, or to disinfect pockets in the gingiva that exist at the neck of teeth with the help of laser light. The same applies to a disinfection of the channel in the root of teeth (endodontic treatment). Prior art concepts of cutting soft tissue rely on the use of red or infrared diode lasers and lead to an excessive heating the tissue and damaging of surrounding tissue. We suggest a device for treatment comprising a laser diode with a wavelength of 445±15 nm, in particular 445±10 nm, for providing the laser light. The use of e.g. 445 nm for cutting soft tissues has numerous advantages.
