Optical array for treating biological tissue

An apparatus can treat biological tissue using a base member, a plurality of needles, and a plurality of fiber optics. The plurality of needles extend from the base member. Each needle defines a bore capable of receiving a fiber optic and has an end. The plurality of needles form an array capable of...

Zusammenfassung:An apparatus can treat biological tissue using a base member, a plurality of needles, and a plurality of fiber optics. The plurality of needles extend from the base member. Each needle defines a bore capable of receiving a fiber optic and has an end. The plurality of needles form an array capable of penetrating a biological tissue and positioning each end within a subsurface volume of the biological tissue. Each fiber optic is adapted for insertion into the bore of each needle, and each fiber optic is capable of delivering electromagnetic radiation to the subsurface volume of the biological tissue to treat the biological tissue.
