Phototherapy Unit
A Phototherapy Unit is a medical device used in neonatal care to treat jaundice in newborns. Jaundice occurs when there is an excess of bilirubin in the blood, causing yellowing of the skin and eyes. Phototherapy works by exposing the baby’s skin to specific wavelengths of light, which helps break down bilirubin into a form that the baby can excrete naturally.
Phototherapy units are widely used in NICUs, neonatal care units, and pediatric wards.
