According to an exemplary embodiment, a catheter assembly may be provided. The catheter assembly may include: an elongated, tubular catheter body having a proximal end, a distal end, and a centrally-disposed lumen extending therebetween a covering attached to the distal end of the catheter body, the covering defining a generally spherical shaped tip at least one ancillary lumen disposed within the catheter body and extending between the proximal end and the distal end thereof at least one light-emitting element configured to emit light of a predetermined wavelength through the ancillary lumen and at least one light source that provides light of a predetermined wavelength to the at least one light-emitting element. The catheter assembly may emit certain wavelengths of light that, when combined with a target therapeutic solution, initiates a synergistic reaction.
