Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To provide a therapeutic tool for killing a disease-causing bacterium by irradiating a diseased part of humans or animals, more effectively, with sterilizing light inside the body. [Structure] The light emitted from the germicidal lamp 1 is condensed by an optical system including a parabolic reflector 2 and a condenser lens 3, and the light receiving end 4 of the optical fiber 4 is located at the focal point of this optical system.
a is provided. Therefore, when the germicidal lamp 1 is turned on,
Light from the germicidal lamp 1 is introduced into the optical fiber 4 and emitted from the light emitting end 4b. Therefore, the light emitted from the light emitting end 4b of the optical fiber 4 is applied to the affected part, for example, athlete's foot, on the skin surface of the affected part, or when there is a disease such as AIDS or influenza, the light emitting end 4b of the optical fiber 4. By inserting into the body and emitting light from the light emitting end 4b, these pathogens can be sterilized and the affected area or disease can be cured.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

【Technical field】

 The present invention relates to a therapeutic device, and more particularly, to a therapeutic device for sterilizing a diseased bacterium of a human or an animal, more effectively, by sterilizing the body by sterilizing light.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 It has long been empirically known that sunlight has a bactericidal action (due to the ultraviolet rays in the rays of light), and the germicidal lamp that utilizes the bactericidal action of this ultraviolet light has a wavelength of 254 nm (2537 Å). Is mainly used in the operating room of hospitals and aseptic laboratories of laboratories to prevent air pollution, but recently, in addition, other bacteria in wastewater and exhaust gas, such as It is used for the sterilization of Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus subtilis, Diphtheria bacillus, Shigella, Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli, Influenza virus, Staphylococcus aureus, etc. However, all of the conventional methods of using germicidal lamps are for sterilizing bacteria in the air or water, and there is no idea to actively use germicidal lamps for treatment of diseases.

[0003]

【Purpose】

 The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and in particular, has been made for the purpose of positively utilizing the germicidal lamp for treating humans and animals.

[0004]

【Constitution】

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an optical fiber having a germicidal lamp, an optical system that focuses the light emitted from the germicidal lamp, and a light receiving end at the focal point of the light focused by the optical system. The treatment is performed by irradiating the affected area with light emitted through the optical fiber. Hereinafter, description will be given based on an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram for explaining an embodiment of a therapeutic device according to the present invention, in which 1 is a germicidal lamp, 2 is a parabolic reflector, 3 is a condenser lens, and 4 is an optical fiber. The light emitted from the germicidal lamp 1 is condensed by an optical system including a parabolic reflector 2 and a condenser lens 3, and the light receiving end 4a of the optical fiber 4 is arranged at the focal position of this optical system. It Therefore, when the germicidal lamp 1 is turned on, light is emitted from the germicidal lamp 1, the light is condensed by the optical systems 2 and 3, and is introduced into the optical fiber 4 from the light receiving end 4 a of the optical fiber 4. The light introduced into the optical fiber 4 is transmitted through the optical fiber 4 and emitted from the light emitting end 4b. Therefore, the light emitted from the light output end 4b of the optical fiber 4 is applied to the affected part, for example, athlete's foot, on the skin surface of the affected part, or when the disease such as AIDS or influenza is caused, the light output from the optical fiber 4 is applied. By inserting the end 4b into the body and emitting light from the light emitting end 4b, these pathogenic bacteria are sterilized and the affected part or disease can be cured. Although the basic configuration of the present invention has been described above, the shape of the optical fiber 4 on the side of the outgoing end 4b may be changed to a shape suitable for the position or the symptom of the affected area, or It is not possible to make various improvements such as making it possible to change the irradiation area and irradiation intensity by using a diffusing aid, and further making the shape easy to insert into the body and providing an assisting tool that is easy to insert. Easy to understand.

[0006]

【effect】

 As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, by using a germicidal lamp in a method that has never been considered in the past, diseases that were conventionally difficult to treat, especially pathogenic bacteria in the body, were introduced. It has become possible to easily treat the existing disease.
