Abstract

The disclosed technology relates to a system for delivering UV-A 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. An object of the invention is to provide a safe and effective low-cost alternative to other therapies for treating infectious diseases. ed 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. An object of the invention is to provide a safe and effective low-cost alternative to other therapies for treating infectious diseases.

Claims (9)

1. A system for performing intra-corporeal ultraviolet therapy, the system comprising: a delivery tube, wherein the delivery tube comprises an electrical connecting means; at least one UV light source inside the delivery tube that is configured to emit wavelengths, wherein the at least one UV light source is positioned to deliver ion directed outwardly around a circumference of the ry tube for a substantial length of the delivery tube wherein the wavelengths comprise only UV-A; a power supply connected to the UV light source via the electrical ting means of the ry tube; and wherein the delivery tube is adapted for endo-tracheal use.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the emission of the UV-A light provides an intracorporeal effect of damage to haploid DNA/RNA of microorganisms selected from the group consisting of bacteria, archaea, fungi, yeast and viruses.
3. The system of claim 1 or 2 wherein the delivery tube is adapted for use within an endo-tracheal tube.
4. The system of claim 1 or 2 wherein the delivery tube is an endo-tracheal tube.
5. The system of any one of claims 1-4, wherein the delivery tube is at least partially transparent.
6. The system of any one of claims 1-5, wherein the UV light source is a string of LEDs.
7. The system of any one of claims 1-6, wherein the ry tube is further adapted for use as a catheter.
8. The system of claim 1 or 2, n the at least one UV light source is a single UV light source.
9. A system for performing intra-corporeal ultraviolet therapy substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to any of the embodiments shown in the accompanying figures.
