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.
