LED Phototherapy machine is an excellent solution for treatment of neonatal jaundice, offering a combination of adapted wavelength, uniform light distribution & adjustable irradiance intensity with low power consumption (20W) & 50,000 hour lamp life.
Phototherapy is a form of treatment that uses ultraviolet light to treat skin conditions. Phototherapy can reduce the appearance of psoriasis and eczema symptoms. This form of treatment is safe for all ages and is a common treatment for newborn jaundice.
Phototherapy: a treatment for jaundice where the exposure of skin to a light source converts unconjugated bilirubin molecules into water soluble isomers that can be excreted by the usual pathways.
The blue light breaks down bilirubin in the blood, allowing the infant to excrete the excess bilirubin before it can accumulate and cause permanent brain damage (kernicterus) or death.
Phototherapy involves the exposure of the skin of the jaundiced baby to blue light of wavelength 400-520 nm. The light interacts with bilirubin in the neonate’s skin to produce isomers of bilirubin that the neonate can excrete through the intestine and in the urine and thus prevents bilirubin toxicity.
In phototherapy, shining fluorescent lights from the bili-light lamps are used on the bare skin of newborns. A specific wavelength of this light used in this therapy can break down the bilirubin into a form that the body can get rid of through urine and stool.
