They propose to use laser beams focused ordinary light. During laser surgery rays to kill diseased cells pass through the optical fiber. This method is very effective and almost painless, but many patients can not afford it - the cost of operations in excess of $ 100 thousand.
At associates Gordon built a series of curved mirrors, the system "collects" light bulbs, focuses it and directs through a flexible optical fiber at the operating table. Thus a beam with millimeter "tip" becomes a tool for surgeons.
Experiments on the liver and kidneys of live rats have shown that system performance is comparable with laser surgery. Currently, Singapore's Ray Medical Private, in cooperation with Israeli specialists engaged in the commercialization of inventions. In the optimistic scenario, the system will be available within a year or two.
