1. A wound dressing for delivering light energy to treat medical conditions in damaged tissues, the wound dressing comprising:
- a flexible light sheet having a plurality of light sources capable of providing at least one effective wavelength at an effective intensity to stimulate cell proliferation on a target area of a patient;
a light source controller operatively connected to the flexible light sheet to control the plurality of light sources;
a translucent bandage connected to the flexible light sheet, the translucent bandage capable of permitting light energy emitted from the plurality of light sources to pass through the translucent wound dressing to the target area of the patient, wherein the translucent bandage is comprised of an absorbent material; and
a therapeutic medicament layer adjacent to the translucent bandage, the therapeutic medicament layer comprising at least one medicament selected from the group consisting of at least one of collagen fibers, alginate, chitosan, and fucoidan.

Abstract
A wound dressing and method of use is provided that increases healing of tissues by targeting damaged tissue at a predetermined wavelength. The device includes the use of a negative pressure bandage, a flexible light sheet, and one or more bioactive marine extracts. Light emitted from the flexible light sheet penetrates through the bandage to target damaged tissue, which accelerates the wound healing process and works synergistically with the negative pressure bandage and bioactive marine extracts such as collagen fibers, alginate, chitosan and fucoidan, or any combination thereof to accelerate healing.
