Problems solved by technology

Wound healing is a common and frequently challenging patient care issue, particularly when chronic ulcers occur.
These processes reduce the available substrates and immune responses needed to heal a wound.
Also, lasers and other infrared sources are more cumbersome to use and transport, and are more expensive.

Embodiment Construction

[0014] The following detailed description is of the best presently contemplated modes of carrying out the invention. This description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating general principles of embodiments of the invention. The scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.

[0015] The present invention provides a disposable chemiluminescent infrared source and bandage for medical light therapy and bio-stimulation. Infrared light of a specific range of wavelengths in the 950 nm range is emitted when an oxalic ester is mixed with hydrogen peroxide and an infrared fluorescer molecule (and optionally, a catalyst) to this reaction. Known chemiluminescent non-toxic stable chemicals can be used. The specific wavelength emitted by chemiluminescence can be adjusted by the specific chemical composition appropriate to the specific application. Numerous different chemical compositions and fluorescers are available from the pri...

Abstract

A therapeutic device has a first chamber that retains an oxalic ester solution, and a second chamber that retains a hydrogen peroxide and fluorescer solution. The therapeutic device is activated by causing the oxalic ester solution to mix with the hydrogen peroxide and fluorescer solution, which produces chemiluminescent light for treating a wound.

Description

RELATED CASES [0001] Priority is claimed from Provisional Specification No. 60 / 514,196, filed Oct. 24, 2003.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to a self-contained disposable chemiluminescent device and method where chemical components react with a fluorescer to produce light in the infrared range for medical light therapy. The present invention also relates to devices used to separate the chemicals needed for the production of chemiluminescent light until the medical device is activated. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] Wound healing is a common and frequently challenging patient care issue, particularly when chronic ulcers occur. Factors that impair wound healing include diabetes, smoking, steroid therapy, poor nutrition, peripheral vascular disease and systemic infection. These processes reduce the available substrates and immune responses needed to heal a wound. In contrast, factors that enhance wound h...
