Abstract
A powered portable laser bandage having one or many vertical cavity surface-emitting laser arrays embedded therein may be worn by a patient and applied to an area of the patient's body near the heart. The device supplies the patient with a preprogrammed laser therapy regimen. A physician programs the device and attaches the device to a patient who may then wear the device for several days without visiting a physician. The device is small enough to be worn under clothes and does not interfere with the patient's normal activities. The low-level laser energy promotes angiogenesis of the heart myocardium. Alternatively, the device may be adapted to be implanted into a skin surface of the patient, or provided in a catheter that is inserted in the vasculature system of the patient.
