Patent ID: 8449587

Claim:
A skin wound treatment system comprising: a handpiece including a pulsed laser source for activating a biochemical wound-healing effect controlled by a calculator that receives a signal from a sensor; and at least one dressing for affixation to a wound before activation of the laser source; wherein: the dressing includes an identification means corresponding to a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag comprising an induction loop that interacts without contact and without electrical connection with the sensor; the handpiece has a power supply generating an electromagnetic field that can activate the RFID tag, by detecting an electromagnetic field generated by the induction loop of the RFID tag, the induction loop provides power to a circuit that includes a memory in which a dressing type identifier is recorded, the information being used to control the power, the duration and the frequency of the pulses of the laser source; and the sensor enables operation of the laser source upon the distance between the sensor and the identification means being less than a determined threshold value and the sensor is configured to receive electromagnetic signals emitted by RFID tag corresponding to the stored information when the latter is supplied with power so as to control the power, the duration and the frequency of the pulses of the laser source.
