PHOTOTHERAPY
Phototherapy is a type of medical treatment that involves exposure to fluorescent light bulbs or other sources of light like halogen lights, sunlight, and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to treat certain medical conditions
Devices used to treat hyperbilirubinemia, characterized by high bilirubin concentrations in the blood. Bilirubin, a product of hemoglobin breakdown, remains in the body until the liver can convert it to a form that can be excreted. Jaundice, a yellowish discoloration of the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes result when bilirubin levels in the blood are too high. High bilirubin levels can be caused by the inability of an immature liver to process high levels of bilirubin, particularly in neonates.
