<p>A phototherapy device and method for treating neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (jaundice) and related conditions. The device comprises a flexible material at least partially encasing flexible circuitry that allows the device to flex as an infant is positioned on it, while, also protecting the circuitry. The circuitry comprises a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted within flexible circuitry, means for altering the duty cycle of the LEDs, and wiring to connect the circuitry to a power supply. The device further comprises a multilayer film that encases all of the circuitry, the flexible material, and LEDs to facilitate sterilization in both long-term or short-term use.</p> |
