Photon Therapeutics
Photon Therapeutics is the company behind the PhotonUVC Vet, which uses UVC light to support the treatment of corneal infections.
The PhotonUVC Vet is a handheld, cordless device designed to deliver a focused, low-dose beam of 265nm ultraviolet C (UVC) light directly to the infected cornea. The treatment takes just five seconds, is non-contact, and requires no sedation. It’s a significant departure from traditional antimicrobial drops and brings several potential advantages: faster pathogen deactivation, no need to identify the specific infectious agent, and no risk of resistance.
It’s simple to use and clinically proven to deliver rapid, broad-spectrum antimicrobial action precisely where it is needed.
UVC light works by damaging the DNA and RNA of microorganisms, effectively preventing them from replicating. This makes it a broad-spectrum solution against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. In medical and sterilisation settings, UVC has long been recognised for its safety and efficacy, and Photon Therapeutics has adapted this technology specifically for veterinary ophthalmic use.
Photon Therapeutics has developed the PhotonUVC Vet to support the treatment of corneal infections, making the process faster and more straightforward than ever before.
