Abstract
The present invention relates to light therapy devices and related methods to treat the female genitalia and areas proximal thereto, including the vaginal cavity and vulvar regions in cisgender females or transgender females who have undergone sex reassignment, in particular for post-surgical indications, vaginal rejuvenation, or other medical conditions suitable for treatment with light therapy. The devices and methods are configured to provide a therapeutic amount of low level light therapy to a patient in need of treatment thereof.
Claims19
A therapeutic device comprising:
- a. a structure having an interior end and an anterior end, wherein the structure is:
- i. fabricated from an optically clear material;
- ii. wider at the anterior end than at the interior end, thereby providing a tapered orientation for the structure;
- and
- iii. engagable with at least one light guide, wherein the at least one light guide is operationally engaged with a light source configured to dispense one or more doses of low level light therapy (LLLT) to a vaginal cavity of a patient when a substantial portion of the structure is inserted in at least part of the vaginal cavity of the patient.
2 more elements
A therapeutic device comprising:
- a. a flexible structure for use proximal to the genitalia of a female patient in need of low level light therapy (“LLLT”), wherein the structure has a first end and a second end, and a first side and a second side, wherein:
- i. the first end is configured to fit proximal to a front genital area of the patient;
- ii. the second end is configured to fit proximal to a rear genital area of the patient;
- iii. the structure is engageable with at least one light guide, wherein the at least one light guide is operationally engaged with a light source configured to dispense one or more doses of LLLT to the patient;
- and
- iv. the first side is optically clear,
- thereby allowing LLLT emitted from an interior thereof to be dispensed to at least some of the genital area of the patient when the first side is worn by the patient with the first side facing the genital area of the patient.
