INTENSIVE MULTIDIRECTIONAL PHOTOTHERAPY DEVICE

摘要

The invention concerns a phototherapy device (1) for treating jaundice in new-born patients, characterised in that it comprises a light box (10) including at least one source of light radiation (11, 12) arranged in the box for illuminating said patient, and a support (3) for stretching out said patient, said support being at least partially, but substantially, transparent or stained so as to allow through the light radiation coming from the light box (10), and the support (3) is arranged above the light box (10) so as to expose the patient maintained on said support (3) from below relative to his gravity direction, thereby better exposing the zones with high bilirubin concentration tending towards the gravitational direction.
