Overhead infant phototherapy units are medical devices that emit blue light in the 425-475 nm wavelength range to treat neonatal jaundice in newborns. These devices work by altering bilirubin through photo-oxidation and isomerization, allowing the infant's body to naturally eliminate excess bilirubin.
When browsing this category, readers should know that these devices are typically powered by mains electricity and include a protective shield to filter out harmful ultraviolet radiation. They may feature built-in timers or require a separate timer unit to control treatment duration.
