Abstract
A presurgical skin treatment device uses blue light (415 nm) coupled with a real-time, skin-positioned dose sensor to provide precise dosing within a range of eradicating C. acnes while reducing skin irritation. Practical incorporation into surgical procedures is provided by a threshold detection providing an indication that correct dose levels have been obtained and/or in an ambulatory device incorporated into a sterile bandage/shield that can be removed immediately prior to surgery.
