The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued a new patent to Biolase for technology related to the delivery of sterile water.
U.S. Patent No. 8,485,818 relates to a new, controlled way of delivering sterile water within the fluid conditioning system of Biolase's WaterLase systems. The technology will be used in both dental and medical cutting, irrigating, evacuating, cleaning, and drilling operations, the company noted in a press release. An additional aspect of this new patent is the introduction of disinfectant agents via spray, mist, or water stream used for dental or surgical applications.
The new patent expands on Biolase's fluid conditioning system technology, which is already covered in several issued U.S. patents. Currently, Biolase holds more than 180 issued patents in the field of medical and dental laser technology, with several new patent applications pending worldwide, the company noted.
