AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Current treatments for onychomycosis, such as oral antifungal drugs and topical lacquers, are often slow-acting, painful, and ineffective in reaching all infected areas of the nail, particularly the subungual space.
Method used
A laser-assisted topical treatment system that uses fractional laser ablations to create channels in the infected nail, allowing a treatment agent with a vehicle and drug to penetrate and reach the subungual space, thereby treating the fungal infection effectively.
Benefits of technology
The laser-assisted topical treatment system provides a one-and-done solution for onychomycosis, offering rapid and effective treatment with minimal pain, as the treatment agent can access and treat the entire infected nail, including the subungual space.
