Publication number: 20240024697Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a system for delivering UV-A/B light with a catheter to treat infectious or inflammatory disorders in a patient. While UV light in the UV-C range has traditionally been used to treat skin disorders and for focused ablation of plaques in the arteries and other targeted internal uses, it has not been developed for broader infection, inflammation or neoplasia treatment inside the human body. Here, the inventor(s) developed a system for emission of therapeutic doses of UV light via a catheter, capsule, endoscope, tube or port that can be used to manage internal infections and inflammatory conditions inside a patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Applicant: CEDARS-SINAI MEDICAL CENTERInventors: Ali Rezaie, Mark Pimentel, Gil Y.
