Description

The utility model relates to medical equipment, namely to devices for phototherapy.

In modern medicine, phototherapy occupies a significant place - the impact on the patient's body with optical radiation. As a rule, lamp, laser, and LED devices are used for this (1, 2, 3).

LED devices are optimal due to the monochromaticity of radiation and the durability of LEDs (more than 50,000 hours of operation), low power consumption and low cost (7).

Currently, in the arsenal of phototherapy, there are a large number of LED devices. In particular, devices for irradiating the body surface (1, 6), transdermal irradiation of blood and oral cavity (4).

The device of the ASTP series described in (1) consists of a rectangular case in which a control panel and a flat working panel with a matrix of blue or red LEDs are mounted; the power is supplied from the network through the adapter. The disadvantage of this device is cumbersome, powered only from the mains and, most importantly, monofunctionality. ASTP type devices are suitable only for surface irradiation.

The “Light-beam dressing” device described in (6) emits red light and, according to the principle of operation, is similar to the ASTP device.

The device (5) consists of a matrix of red LEDs and is intended for percutaneous irradiation of blood. Power is supplied from the network.

Common disadvantages of these analogues are monofunctionality, the impossibility of irradiating cavities, as well as power from the mains, which limits their use in stand-alone conditions, as well as in cases of technological disasters in the power supply system.

On a technical level, a close analogue of the proposed device is an LED device for irradiating the oropharynx (4), including

a housing with a built-in power supply: an autonomous power supply, a program control unit and a light-emitting diode. To transmit optical radiation to the object, a flat light guide "spatula" made of plexiglass was used, autonomous power supply.

Unfortunately, this device can only be used to irradiate the oral cavity, because the shape of its light-conducting part does not allow it to be introduced into other cavities of the patient’s body, and also to be used for external irradiation or percutaneous irradiation of blood.

The purpose of the utility model is to create a device with multifunctional qualities: the possibility of irradiating cavities, transdermal irradiation of blood and external irradiation of the body, both contact and non-contact. In this case, the device should be economical and have autonomous power.

The goal (technical result) is achieved through the use of a super-bright emitting diode and three light-conducting nozzles made of Plexiglas, which have a different shape that determines their purpose.

The proposed device is presented in figure 1 and consists of a housing 1 made of plastic, inside of which there is an autonomous power supply unit 2 - a rechargeable battery, in the front part of the housing there is an ultra-bright LED 3 of blue or red range, a mirror reflector 4, a program control chip 5; in the rear end of the housing 1 there is a socket 7 for a charger plug for the battery 2. On the surface of the housing are a button 6 for turning on the device and setting the phototherapy session program.

The multifunctionality of the device is achieved by using three light guide nozzles 8a, 8b, 8c made of plexiglass.

The nozzle 8a is a round cylinder with a rounded front edge, which allows it to be inserted into natural cavities (vagina, rectum); at the end of the nozzle there is a recess of 5 mm 12 with a well-polished surface. Front end design

allows photodynamic therapy of small formations protruding above the skin surface (atheromas, viral etiology warts, boils), as well as percutaneous blood irradiation; in the rear section of the nozzle there is a restrictive ring 10, representing a single unit with the nozzle.

The nozzle 8b is an oval cone-shaped cylinder, the flattened shape of which allows irradiation of the posterior wall of the oral cavity, as well as its use for transdermal blood irradiation and contact irradiation of small areas of the skin. On the back of the nozzle 8b there is a removable silicone ring (tread) 13 for contact with the patient’s teeth.

The nozzle 8c is a truncated cone with an angle of 60 ° (angle of divergence of the light flux of superbright LEDs), the end surface, which is carefully polished. Due to internal reflection, the loss of light flux is minimal at a sufficiently large emitting surface. The nozzle is designed for external contact and non-contact irradiation.

In each of the nozzles there is a socket 9 for the LED 3 protruding from the housing 1.

The light guide nozzle (8a, 8b, 8c) is connected to the housing 1 using a bayonet lock 11. The housing of the device can be made in two versions: with a blue light source and a red light source.

The proposed device has the following advantages:

1. The use of various forms of replaceable light guide nozzles allows for various phototherapy options: irradiation of all natural cavities of the patient’s body, photodynamic therapy of various small pathological formations, and contact and non-contact irradiation of the body surface.

The treatments are treated with a photosensitizer (for red light preparations of the porphyrin series, for blue light - bacteriochlorins, methylene blue, eosin). For superficially located pathological formations, blue light radiation is used, for deeper and more massive - red), which determines the choice of the device case with a particular light source.

The light guide (nozzle 8a) is connected by a lock to the device body, by pressing a button, the device is turned on and the treatment regimen is set, then the radiating surface is pressed tightly against the skin so that the pathological protrusion protruding above its surface enters the recess of the radiating surface.

The medical professional or the patient himself holds the device throughout the entire phototherapy session. After the procedure has expired, the device automatically turns off.

To irradiate the tissues of the posterior wall of the oral cavity, a light guide nozzle 8b is used, having a flattened shape and a silicone ring protector at the point of contact with the patient’s teeth during the procedure.

The light guide nozzle 8b is connected by means of a bayonet lock to the device case, by pressing the button 6 it is turned on and the desired program is set. After that, the light guide is placed in the patient's oral cavity. The light guide nozzle is held by the patient’s teeth for the duration of the treatment procedure. At the end of the procedure, the device automatically turns off.

A device with a light guide nozzle 8b is also used for percutaneous irradiation of blood. To do this, it is placed in the ulnar fossa above the large vessels (artery and vein) that are in working condition, pressed tightly to the skin and held for the duration of the procedure, after which the device automatically turns off.

For contact and non-contact irradiation of the surface of the face and body, a device with a nozzle 8b is used.

The treatments are treated with a photosensitizer (for red light preparations of the porphyrin series, for blue light - bacteriochlorins, methylene blue, eosin). For superficially located pathological formations, blue light radiation is used, for deeper and more massive - red), which determines the choice of the device case with a particular light source.

The light guide (nozzle 8a) is connected by a lock to the device body, by pressing a button, the device is turned on and the treatment regimen is set, then the radiating surface is pressed tightly against the skin so that the pathological protrusion protruding above its surface enters the recess of the radiating surface.
