    • A device for improved surgical procedures to remove unwanted or hyperplasic tissue from a patient during laser ablation, urological treatments, benign prostatic hyperplasia treatments and other applications. Specially prepared optical waveguide tips allow for enhanced irradiation of desired tissues with light sources including laser diodes, bright LEDs or lamps. A significant fraction of the optical radiation, being transported in the waveguide, is coupled out of the waveguide into the surrounding medium through a peripheral surface at or near the distal end. The optical radiation is chosen to have an appropriate wavelength and sufficient power density, so that the surrounding medium will be changed in the vicinity of at least a part of the peripheral surface area. The changes of the surrounding medium result in a change of its refractive index such that the optical radiation is redirected.

    • A device and method for restoring functionality of blood vessels are disclosed. Laser energy is accurately and precisely applied in order to restore vessel functionality. This is accomplished by a controlled, reliable and specific shrinkage and/or strengthening of the vessel structure by controlled transport of laser radiation via an optical fiber to the treatment site. Laser wavelength is chosen according to the required penetration depth in tissue. In a preferred embodiment, wavelength of approximately 1470 nm is used. A mini-endoscope is preferably used to control the process by visual inspection from the inside of the vessel but other means may also be combined to control the procedure. Full 360° radial emission, i.e., delivery of laser radiation perpendicularly or fairly inclined relative to the veins axis, is beneficial, and is accomplished by means of a radial emitting fiber. In another preferred embodiment, a 360 degree radiation pattern can be achieved by using a twister or side-emitting fiber, along with rotational and sweeping movements to apply energy in an even, more-controlled, and guided manner. Valve function is restored to recover whole vein functionality, avoiding the need of closing it. In a preferred embodiment, energy is applied from the outside of the vessel, by inserting a device through the skin and tissue. In another preferred embodiment, specific radiation absorbers are located at suitable positions inside the vessel wall, to selectively target radiation to tagged locations. Vessel function is restored preserving its structure. A wide range of vessel diameters are effectively treated. Vessels include veins, arteries and fistulas.

    • A method and formulation are disclosed for improving the results of corneal refractive surgery, and generally reducing post-operative scarring and scarring arising from other traumas. In the vision examples, after completion of a procedure, including Photorefractive Keratotomy (PRK) or Laser-In-Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK), a photosensitizer or photosensitizer precursor is applied to the treatment site. After allowing sufficient time for the photosensitizers to accumulate among proliferating cells that occur as a result of ablation, radiation appropriate to activate the photosensitizers is administered to the treatment site. The photosensitizer is thus activated to destroy only those proliferating cells. In this way, proliferating tissue is eliminated and the cornea maintains the shape created during the surgery. As a result, instances of regression and the need for follow-up treatments, is minimized. This method is also useful for preventing post-surgical scarring that can lead to vision problems such as corneal haze. Likewise the method and formulations, presented here, are suitable for reducing post-operative scarring, and trauma cased scarring in general. For such scars, a photosensitizer or photosensitizer precursor is topically applied to the treatment site. After allowing sufficient time for the photosensitizers to attach to proliferating cells, radiation appropriate to activate the photosensitizers is administered to the treatment site. The photosensitizer is activated to destroy only those proliferating cells.

    • A system and method for the destruction/ablation of stones, calculi or other hard substances by means of laser energy is disclosed. As a consequence, several important medical treatments can be performed, especially lithotripsy. The system comprises a diode laser source emitting at least at one wavelength, one or more optical fibers which convey laser radiation to the treatment site and a liquid delivery system used for creating a liquid environment around the stones (calculi). The laser device emits at least one wavelength which is highly absorbed in the surrounding/covering medium, thus causing evaporation and cavitation effects that lead to stone/calculi destruction. Different radiation configurations may be used. In one embodiment continuous radiation is used to create sparkler-less plasma bubbles able to destroy hard substances. In another embodiment high peak power pulsed radiation is used. Wavelengths of 1470 nm, 1940 nm, or 1550 nm are preferred. Additionally it can be applied in combination with another wavelength with medium absorption in water such as 980 nm. In another embodiment a concentric double core fiber is used, in which the ignition radiation is guided in near single mode, inner core and the radiation used to maintain and enhance the pulse is guided into the surrounding second outer core. In another preferred embodiment, the use of multiple optical fibers allows for treating larger stones in a shorter time period. In another preferred embodiment, cooling liquid is supplied to the impact site to further reduce thermal heating of the stone, thus diminishing risks of tissue damage caused by stone fragment anchorage and thermal energy. With these safer and improved methods and system, enhanced lithotripsy treatments can be performed in a shorter treatment time, destroying a wider range of stones with less risk of tissue damage, and less patient and physician stress.

    • A high power density light delivery device is presented that uses an optical fiber with a diffuser attached at a distal end for use in, for example, photodynamic therapy (PDT) and laser induced thermotherapy (LITT). Uniform scattering in the diffuser section is obtained by either inducing differences in refractive index profiles of the core or in the core-cladding interface with the use of scattering centers or nano-voids. Nano-voids are created in the core or core-cladding interface by focusing high power laser energy or picosecond/femtosecond laser pulses on the quartz fiber material to induce defects. A special method is used that writes defects into or near to the core/cladding boundary through the jacket, without the necessity to first remove the jacket and then recoat the fiber. The method uses a wavelength that is highly transmissive in the jacket and fiber but absorbed in the fiber at very short laser pulses with high peak power. These processes allow the use of high power laser energy and the emission of the resulting high power densities in quartz fibers. The disclosed optical fiber delivery system is suitable for high power applications that require optical fibers with high flexibility and strength and core diameters from about 50 to about 400 microns.

    • A device and method are provided which achieve tissue ablation as well as tissue coagulation substantially simultaneously during the treatment of BPH by utilizing at least two wavelengths of light. The device and method improve urinary flow and minimize post-treatment blood loss and edema while maintaining a nearly blood-free operating field during treatment by irradiating substantially simultaneously with at least two different wavelengths of light. According to the present invention, tissue ablation is affected by having one wavelength that is highly absorbed in the prostatic tissue while another less highly absorbed wavelength coagulates surrounding tissues while maintaining minimal thermal damage to surrounding tissue. In a preferred embodiment the highly absorbed wavelength is about 1460 nm and the less absorbed by water but with some significant hemoglobin absorption is about 980 nm. This combination aids the patient by reducing blood loss and edema. It can aid the practitioner, especially where imaging is employed, by maintaining a substantially blood-free area during treatment. The present device and method is used in conjunction with optical fibers including side emitting optical fibers to provide a practical, minimally invasive treatment of enlarged prostates.
