초록

Apparatus and methods for the treatment of keratinized tissue infected with a pathogen are provided. In certain examples, electromagnetic energy, such as microwave energy, may be used in the treatment process to reduce the amount of or eliminate the pathogen from the keratinized tissue.

대표청구항 ▼

1. A method of treating an infected nail having a nail bed and a nail plate comprising delivering a beam of electromagnetic energy to a target area to thermally deactivate a pathogen infecting the nail without causing substantial unwanted injury to at least one of the nail bed and the nail plate, wherein the electromagnetic energy has a wavelength greater than 400 nm, and further comprising introducing water into the nail prior to delivering the electromagnetic energy. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising delivering the electromagnetic energy such that the energy absorbed is converted to thermal energy to deactivate the pathogen infecting the nail. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein at least a portion of the beam is absorbed by the pathogen. 4. The method of claim 2, wherein the target area comprises a blood vessel in the nail bed. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising delivering a pulsed beam of electromagnetic energy to the infected nail. 6. The method of claim 5, further comprising moving the pulsed beam of electromagnetic energy after each pulse. 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising delivering the electromagnetic energy to substantially all of the nail bed by moving the beam of electromagnetic energy. 8. The method of claim 7, further comprising delivering a second series of pulses of electromagnetic energy after an interval, the second series of pulses delivering electromagnetic energy to substantially all of the nail bed. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising delivering the beam of electromagnetic energy until the nail reaches a selected temperature. 10. The method of claim 9, further comprising delivering a predetermined number of pulses. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein delivery of the electromagnetic energy results in killing of the pathogen. 12. The method of claim 1, further comprising delivering the beam of electromagnetic energy at a selected rate. 13. The method of claim 1, further comprising applying a chromophore and absorbing the electromagnetic energy by the chromophore in the target area. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the pathogen is selected from the group consisting of a bacterium and a fungus. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the fungus is a Trichophyton species. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein the electromagnetic energy comprises a wavelength between 400 nm and 1100 nm. 17. The method of claim 1, further comprising using a radio frequency generator to provide the beam of electromagnetic energy. 18. The method of claim 1, further comprising using a microwave generator to provide the beam of radiation. 19. The method of claim 1, wherein the electromagnetic energy is visible light. 20. The method of claim 1, further comprising: culturing the pathogen from a nail clipping or scraping from the infected nail; and delivering the beam of electromagnetic energy to the infected nail at a wavelength effective to treat the nail infection. 21. The method of claim 1, further comprising inducing reactive hyperemia in the infected nail. 22. The method of claim 1, further comprising masking the nail to selectively expose an area to the electromagnetic radiation. 23. A method of treating an infected nail having a nail bead and a nail plate comprising delivering a beam of electromagnetic energy to target area to thermally deactivate a pathogen infecting the nail without causing substantial unwanted injury to at least one of the nail bead and the nail plate, wherein the electromagnetic energy has a wavelength greater than 400 nm further comprising cooling at least a portion of the nail during delivery of the electromagnetic energy.
