Catheter photo-disinfection system (light engine, transfer cable, diffusing fiber)
A system composed of a reusable visible-light engine, transfer cable and a diffusing intraluminal fiber designed to deliver 405 nm light within standard catheters and related devices to prevent and treat device-associated infections.
Light Line™ PhotoDisinfection
Central and PICC lines integrated with Light Line's PhotoDisinfection technology to prevent central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) in ICU patients.
Light Line™ PhotoDisinfection Endotracheal Tube
An endotracheal tube with Light Line's PhotoDisinfection technology to reduce ventilator-associated pneumonia infections in ICU patients.
Peritoneal Dialysis PhotoDisinfection System™
A system designed to disinfect the inside and outside of multiple types of catheters using visible light, starting with a dialysis product. It uses a reusable light engine and a disposable fiber optic cable that attach to off-the-shelf catheters to emit light inside the catheters, killing pathogens and preventing infections without harming the patient or catheter.
405nm PhotoDisinfection™ System
A safe and effective 405nm light therapy system developed by Light Line Medical to prevent air and touch contamination during peritoneal dialysis treatments by killing pathogens inside catheter lumens.
