摘要:
The present invention presents devices, kits, systems and methods that can beused to deliver and activate a photosensitizing composition in a cavity. Forexample, a device (100) of the present invention includes a member (10) havinga base portion (11), an insert portion (13) adapted for insertion into the cavity,and a pocket (12) adapted for communication with a waveguide (14) which is connectedto a light source (20) for delivering light to the device (100), wherein the pocket(12) includes a light dispersing section (18) that is adapted for light communicationwith distal end (16) of the waveguide (14) and desired illumination pattern forphotodisinfection of the cavity is provided by at least one of the elements selectedfrom the group consisting of: surface finish of the light dispersing section(18), geometry of the light dispersing section (18), surface finish of the member(10), geometry of the member (10), and a combination thereof. The present inventioncan be used for humans, other animals, and inanimate objects.
