Wearable Photodynamic Devices for Combating Drug-resistant Bacterial Infections

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Currently, the clinical application of photodynamic therapy (PDT) predominantly depends on large-scale optical devices such as laser, broad-spectrum discharge lamp, and integrated LED system. The bulkiness and immobility of these traditional light sources restrict the professional administration of PDT to specialized medical institutions. Our research team has made substantial progress in the development of flexible wearable PDT devices through the miniaturization and flexibilization of light sources, thereby enhancing the convenience of PDT and improving patient adherence.
