Patent ID: 8668727

Claim:
A system for treating pathogenic infections comprising: a UV light-emitting device having an emission output; an applicator integrated therewith, the applicator comprising a fluid reservoir for containing a riboflavin solution and a fluid outlet, wherein the emission output and the fluid outlet are configured for accessing an internal anatomical target and delivering the riboflavin solution and UV light thereto; an actuator and a forcing mechanism, the actuator being remotely actuable by a user and configured to (i) cause the forcing mechanism to force the riboflavin solution from the fluid reservoir through the fluid outlet and (ii) cause the light-emitting device to emit UV light through the emission output; and an inflatable balloon proximal to the fluid outlet; wherein the actuator is a mechanical, electrical or electromechanical actuator and the applicator is configured to deliver the riboflavin solution through the fluid outlet with the balloon inflated to form a proximal dam preventing dispersal of the fluid.
