Patent ID: 7182726

Claim:
An implant device for delivering a predetermined dosage of energy treatment to reduce chronic back pain or scarring or inflammation, the implant device comprising: a. an energy emitting material disposed relative to the implant device to provide the therapeutic energy treatment to tissue proximate to the spinal cord after a surgical procedure; b. an energy-producing layer, the energy-producing layer being capable of pre-implantation shaping, the energy-producing layer being adaptable for surgical placement at a surgical site, the energy-producing layer providing desired treatment effects to the tissue proximate to the spinal cord; c. a layer having magnetic field properties, the magnetic field layer directionally shifting particle radiation toward the targeted tissue proximate to the spinal cord or repelling similar charged particle energy away from the targeted tissue proximate to the spinal cord; and d. attenuating barrier components to facilitate a precise directional focusing of therapeutic energy to the targeted tissue while shielding adjacent non-targeted tissue from unnecessary exposure; wherein the implant device is placed proximate to the spinal cord during the surgical procedure, the implant device being integrated into a position relative to the spinal cord to provide a beneficial three dimensional delivery of the therapeutic energy treatment to the tissue proximate to the spinal cord.
