  • Publication number: 20240238614
    Abstract: LED-based assemblies/systems and methods for infection prevention and treatment are disclosed. The assemblies/systems include an optical head unit including LEDs and LED drivers, the LED drivers configured to control emission of light from the LEDs at one or more selected wavelengths. The assemblies/systems also include a base that selectively and operatively couples to the optical head unit to provide a consistent distance to a target site and prevent light emitted from the LEDs from escaping into an environment surrounding the target site. A phototherapy method for treating tissue includes (i) connecting an optical head unit to a base, (ii) disposing the base to surround a target site; and (ii) controlling output of LEDs in the optical head unit to emit light through the base at one or more selected wavelengths, the base preventing the light emitted from the LEDs from escaping into an environment surrounding the target site.

  • Patent number: 10046175
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for light delivery assemblies and, more particularly to light delivery assemblies/systems that provide light to and/or illuminate/treat predetermined locations (e.g., surgical sites), and related methods of use. An exemplary light delivery assembly (e.g., a surgical site light) includes a shell/housing (e.g., a plastic shell/housing) with a cross-sectional shape similar to an inward-facing asymmetrical C. The shell/housing is shaped to be placed proximal to a site (e.g., surgical site) and emit light onto the site from a plurality of directions while inhibiting the light from radiating away from the outside of the shell/housing. Exemplary light delivery assemblies of the present disclosure can be utilized for a variety of different applications/treatments/uses (e.g.

  • Patent number: 9151462
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for illuminating sites (e.g., surgical sites) are provided. An illumination device (e.g., a surgical site light) includes a body (e.g., a plastic body) with a cross-sectional shape similar to an inward-facing asymmetrical C, and wherein the body is shaped to be placed proximal to a site (e.g., surgical site) and emit light onto the site from a plurality of directions while inhibiting the light from radiating away from the outside of the body.

  • Publication number: 20130163274
    Abstract: The present invention relates to devices and methods for illuminating surgical sites, implements and implants. In certain aspects, the invention provides a surgical site light having a plastic body with a cross-sectional shape similar to an inward-facing asymmetrical C, wherein the body is shaped to be placed proximal to a surgical site and emit light onto the site from a plurality of directions while inhibiting the light from radiating away from the outside of the plastic body.
