<p>A flexible illuminator (30) for external phototherapy is disclosed having at least one light generating source (76), preferably a plurality of light generating sources, on a flexible substrate (84). The flexible substrate may be a printed circuit board, and the light generating sources may be surface mount LEDs. Structure for diffusing light (111) from the discrete light sources, and/or a system for transferring heat away from a skin contact surface are provided. The illuminator may be formed as a pad (64) to be wrapped around an infant or a limb of an adult, or as a mat (60). The illuminator may be passively or actively cooled so that the skin contact surface remains below the desired temperature. The LED is preferably blue or green, and an ultraviolet filter (110) may be provided.</p> |
