A photoluminescent apparatus comprising:
- a body made from a glow medium comprising:
- a photoluminescent material and
- a biocompatible silicone,
- the photoluminescent material being hosted in and rechargeable through the biocompatible silicone,
- wherein a total mass of the body comprises a concentration of the photoluminescent material that is greater than 20% and less than approximately 50%.
The apparatus of 8, wherein the zinc copper sulfides comprise ZnS and Cu:ZnS.
A photoluminescent method comprising steps of:
- combining a photoluminescent material with a biocompatible silicone to make a glow medium having a concentration of the photoluminescent material that is greater than 20% and less than 50% of a total mass of the glow medium;
- allowing the glow medium to set over a period of time;
- forming the glow medium into a general shape of a body;
- trimming the general shape into a particular shape of the body;
- and
- activating the photoluminescent material in the biocompatible silicone.
