A Phototherapy Unit is a specialized neonatal care device used for the treatment of neonatal jaundice (hyperbilirubinemia) in newborns. By delivering controlled light therapy, the unit helps reduce high bilirubin levels in the baby’s blood, preventing complications and ensuring safe, effective recovery.
Phototherapy units use high-intensity blue light within the therapeutic wavelength range to break down bilirubin into water-soluble forms that can be easily eliminated from the baby’s body. Modern units are available with LED or fluorescent light sources, offering uniform light distribution and consistent treatment results.
