  • System for thermotherapy treatment or prevention of antimicrobial resistant or biofilm infections
    Patent number: 10894085
    Abstract: The system comprises a support to receive a nanoparticle assembly (NPA) and to be conveyed towards a localized area of an organism infected or at risk to be infected by microorganisms; said nanoparticle assembly (NPA) comprising a plurality of nanoparticles (NPs) each one (NP) having a metal core and a surface surrounding said metal core, the metal core being reactable to thermal energy; and an energy unit (15) configured to apply at least one thermal shot on said localized area exposed to the nano-particle assembly, increasing the temperature of said localized area via the. nanoparticle assembly (NPA), so enabling a nanotheranostic multimodal antimicrobial therapy, wherein the metal core being made of silver, gold, iron or a mixture of silver and gold.
