TISSUE INTERFACE SYSTEMS FOR APPLICATION OF OPTICAL SIGNALS INTO TISSUE OF A PATIENT

摘要

Systems and methods for applying optical signals into tissue of a patient are provided herein. In one example, a tissue interface system for applying optical signals to tissue of a patient is provided. The tissue interface system includes a tissue interface pad configured to apply the optical signals carried by at least one optical source into the tissue, and a pressurized volume configured to apply pressure to the tissue interface pad to couple a portion of the tissue interface pad to the tissue.
