Claims23
1-14. (canceled)
A method of wound treatment, the method comprising exposing a wound site to electromagnetic radiation centred around 1072 nm.
16-20. (canceled)
A device comprising a flexible substrate comprising a number of light emitting means that produce divergent electromagnetic radiation centred around 1072 nm, the substrate being provided with a number of apertures through which the light passes.
A device according to claim wherein the substrate is a bandage.
26-27. (canceled)
A method according to claim 1 wherein the electromagnetic radiation comprises a bandwidth of between 10 nm to 120 nm.
A method according claim 1 wherein the electromagnetic radiation is continuous or pulsed.
A method according to claim 1 wherein when the electromagnetic radiation is continuous the intensity is at least 500 μWatts/cm2 and up to 500 mWatts/cm2.
A method according to claim 1 wherein when the electromagnetic radiation is pulsed the intensity is at least 500 μWatts/cm2 peak power and the average power is up to 500 mWatts/cm2.
