Full Description

For more than three decades, phototherapy has been the standard for treating neonatal jaundice. The benefits of utilizing phototherapy devices instead of sunlight include: 24 hour treatment, greater efficacy by narrowing the spectral range to 430-490nm, improved temperature regulation due to smaller exposed surface area, and the elimination of harmful UV irradiation to the patient from sunlight exposure.

Medical Select’s BiliBee LED Phototherapy system is revolutionizing the phototherapy industry by providing a completely portable and maintenance free system by eliminating the fiber optic cable found on competitors phototherapy systems.

The BiliBee LED Phototherapy System is a portable, battery-operated or AC powered device that utilizes an LED illuminator pad for the treatment of neonatal jaundice (hyperbilirubinemia). Treatment is applied by placing the patient on the BiliBee LED pad while a disposable sheath separates the infant from the pad’s surface. Treatment is intended to be applied 24 hours a day until the infants bilirubin levels have been effectivly lowered to an acceptable level according to AAP guidelines.

Whether using the AC power supply at home – the battery pack on the go – the BiliBee LED provides intense treatment wherever it’s needed.

The product is so convenient that both mother and baby will forget it’s even there.
