Internal UV Treatment Administered Via Endoscopy

摘要

A device and method is proposed to enable the treatment of interior of bodily hollow organs and other interior cavities of a body for a number of harmful virus, fungal, and bacterial entities and autoimmune conditions by internal short wavelength ultraviolet light by use of specially equipped endoscope-like devices.

主权项

1. An endoscope-like device for delivery of ultra violet (UV) light in controlled dosages to the interior of bodily hollow organs and other interior cavities of a body comprising:
a. a proximal end; b. a distal end for insertion into the interior of bodily hollow organs and other interior cavities of the body; c. a light source integrated into the proximal end of the endoscope-like device; d. one or more light guides to collect the light from the light source and deliver the light within the endoscope-like device to the distal end of the endoscope-like device; e. wherein the light source emits and the one or more light guides delivers to the distal end of the endoscope-like device UV irradiation with a wavelength of 100 to 400 nanometers.
