摘要:
A tissue treatment device is disclosed. A tissue treatment device includes a bristle having a longitudinal axis, where the bristle is configured to emit a peak concentration of electromagnetic radiation along a direction that is not parallel to the longitudinal axis. The tissue treatment device also includes a brush head for holding the bristle, where the bristle projects outwardly from the brush head and is configured to brush a surface. The tissue treatment device further includes an electromagnetic energy source optically coupled to the bristle. The bristle is a waveguide that is configured to receive electromagnetic radiation from the electromagnetic energy source at a coupling point and to emit the received electromagnetic radiation at a tip.
