Abstract:
A sterilization system uses ultraviolet radiation and ozone to eradicate deadly pathogens to sterilize a zone of a surface of an object or wound/incision sites. The sterilization system offers a safe sterilization method prior to or after surgery and/or closure wounds/incisions. The sterilization system has ultraviolet emitters that emit ultraviolet light in wavelengths that kill pathogens and in wavelengths that produce ozone at the sites, therefore killing/disabling several hard-to-kill pathogens. The sterilization system has proximity detectors to enable ultraviolet emission only when the system is properly located near or against the surface so as to protect from unwanted radiation from the ultraviolet light.

Claim (Index 15):
A system for killing pathogens, the system comprising:\n an enclosure; one or more ultraviolet emitters housed in the enclosure and covered by a filter, the filter passing ultraviolet light from the one or more ultraviolet emitters, the one or more ultraviolet emitters configured to emit ultraviolet light from the housing, through the filters, and onto a zone of a surface where ozone is produced by ultra violet light emitted from the one or more ultraviolet emitters; means for detecting proximity to the surface, the means for detecting proximity prevents the one or more ultraviolet emitters from emitting the ultraviolet light until the system for killing pathogens is at the surface; and a timer configured to connect a source of power to the one or more ultraviolet emitters for a period of time responsive to the means for detecting the surface indicating contact with the surface.
