Mouth and nose steriliser - uses high intensity light flash of millisecond duration

Abstract

Abstract Device for disinfecting the nose and mouth cavities comprises a flashing light source which generates a density of at least 10,000, pref. 150,000 lumen. The light source may be a stroboscope electron flash tube and may be mounted at the end of a flexible rod. More specifically, the source is fitted to one end of a flexible bundle of glass fibres, the other end carrying a beam distributer which can be inserted into the nose and/or mouth. Pref. duration of the flash is 1/000 secs for a light quality of approx. 6000-14,000 degrees Kelvin. The device may be mounted in a hood of transparent plastics. The method of treatment is intended esp. for killing viruses of the type "tarpela premens".
