Patent number: 8414504Abstract: A blood test device using a laser as a puncture member. More specifically, in a blood test device using a laser as a puncture member, the skin can be fixed at a definite position by raising the punctured skin under negative pressure, and thus the skin is brought into close contact with a blood sensor and the laser is focused on the vicinity of the blood sensor face. Thus, it is possible to provide a blood test device of the laser puncture type in which the skin can be surely punctured while giving little pain to a patient.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2007Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Masaki Fujiwara, Yoshinori Amano, Takeshi Nishida, Toshihiro Akiyama, Masataka Nadaoka, Toshiki Matsumoto, Kenichi Hamanaka, Kiyohiro Horikawa, Koji Miyoshi

Patent number: 8394085Abstract: A laser perforation device that has a simple structure and with which pain to a person in skin perforation is reduced. In the device, a laser beam emitted from a laser emitting device is branched into laser beam paths by splitters and mirrors and pierces skin by applying the split beams to the same position on the skin. Since the skin is pierced by a laser beam with a low output, pain to the person can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2007Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Kiyohiro Horikawa, Takeshi Nishida, Kenichi Hamanaka, Toshihiro Akiyama, Koji Miyoshi, Yoshinori Amano

Publication number: 20100249764Abstract: It is possible to provide a laser unit which can sting a skin with a small-diameter hole causing a small pain. The laser unit (1) includes: a laser rod (3) which applies a laser beam; a lens (7) which collects a laser beam applied from an irradiation unit; and a laser transmission plate (9) having a mirror portion on the side to which the laser beam comes in and a rough portion having an average surface roughness Ra on the side from which the laser beam goes out. With this configuration, the laser beam which has passed through the laser transmission plate (9) is scattered by the rough portion and the intensity of the laser beam applied to the skin is not concentrated to the center. Moreover, the laser beam generates an impulse wave when passing through the rough portion. That is, the energy is discharged in advance.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2008Publication date: September 30, 2010Applicant: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventor: Takeshi Nishida
