Description

The BILICOCOON® Fiber Optic Phototherapy System is an advanced medical device specifically designed to treat neonatal jaundice effectively and safely. Utilizing cutting-edge fiber optic and light-emitting fabric technology, it provides intensive and uniform phototherapy, crucial for the efficient degradation of bilirubin in newborns. This system is versatile, suitable for both hospital and home environments, and emphasizes enhancing workflow, safety, and comfort for both infants and caregivers.

Key Features

• Technology: The system employs narrowband LEDs with a peak wavelength of 460 nm, ensuring targeted treatment. The light source is positioned remotely from the newborn to minimize heat exposure, enhancing safety.
• Coverage: Offers one of the largest therapeutic surface areas available, with a treatment area of up to 1200 cm².
• Quiet Operation: Maintains a sound level of less than 34 dB(A), ensuring a peaceful environment for the newborn.

System Components

• Light Box: Compact and lightweight, measuring 21 x 20 x 16 cm and weighing 1.4 kg.
• Pad: Light-emitting surface measuring 40 x 30 cm, weighing 1 kg, complemented by disposable covers.
• Accessories: Includes Lightex® technology, a mounting system, and a spare parts kit.

Configurations

• Bag System: Provides comprehensive 360° body surface exposure, available in various sizes for term babies.
• Nest System: Tailored for preterm infants, compatible with kangaroo care and incubators, offering posterior and lateral coverage.
• Kangaroo System: Designed for full-term babies, featuring anterior and posterior pads for complete coverage.

Monitoring and Compatibility

The system includes an electronic platform to monitor irradiance, exposure time, and total dose, ensuring precise treatment management. It is compatible with warmers, incubators, and supports kangaroo care, allowing for seamless integration into existing neonatal care practices.

Safety and Portability

Safety is paramount, with light delivered through optic fibers to keep electricity away from the infant’s skin and minimize residual blue light. The system is lightweight, flexible, and easily transportable, making it a practical choice for various care settings.
