System, retainer and method of preventing and treating nosocomial infections including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections

A method of providing therapeutic treatment, comprising:

• coupling a retainer that retains an antimicrobial solution against tissue having a nosocomial infection, said antimicrobial solution comprising 3% hydrogen peroxide;
• connecting at least one antimicrobial solution delivery element to the retainer for therapeutic treatment;
• providing at least one piece of tubing having a first end connected to an antimicrobial solution reservoir and a second end connected to the at least one antimicrobial solution delivery element;
• providing at least one fiber optic cable having a first end connected to a light source;
• connecting at least one light termination rigidly to the retainer for therapeutic treatment and to the second end of the fiber optic cable;
• applying the antimicrobial solution on a tissue to be treated;
• retaining the antimicrobial solution against the tissue to be treated;
• providing a predetermined wavelength of light;
• bringing the antimicrobial solution to a predetermined temperature;
• irradiating the antimicrobial solution;
• and
• exposing the antimicrobial solution to light of 420 nm to 480 nm for a duration of more than 60 seconds.

A method of treating a nosocomial infection on a target surface area, comprising:

• coupling a retainer that retains an antimicrobial solution against the target surface area on which the nosocomial infection is present, said antimicrobial solution comprising a carrier and at least one peroxide agent in an amount of 0.001 to 50% per volume of the carrier,
• connecting at least one antimicrobial solution delivery element to the retainer for therapeutic treatment;
• providing at least one piece of tubing having a first end connected to an antimicrobial solution reservoir and a second end connected to the at least one antimicrobial solution delivery element;
• providing at least one fiber optic cable having a first end connected to a light source;
• connecting at least one light termination rigidly to the retainer for therapeutic treatment and to the second end of the fiber optic cable;
• applying the antimicrobial solution onto the target surface area having the nosocomial infection;
• retaining the antimicrobial solution against the target surface area;
• providing a predetermined wavelength of light;
• bringing the antimicrobial solution to a predetermined temperature;
• irradiating the antimicrobial solution;
• and
• exposing the antimicrobial solution to light of 385 nm to 515 nm for a duration of 1 second to 2 minutes.
