Definition of fiber optic jaundice treatment:

Fiber optic jaundice treatment is a technology that uses a flexible fiber optic blanket or fiber optic pad to emit blue light of a specific wavelength to irradiate the skin of newborns to reduce serum bilirubin levels. Compared with traditional blue light boxes, fiber optic equipment is lighter and allows mother-infant contact, and can even be used during breastfeeding.

The working principle of fiber optic therapy:

1. Blue light irradiation: Blue light of a specific wavelength can convert bilirubin under the skin into water-soluble substances, which are excreted through urine and bile.

2. Fiber optic equipment: Use a fiber optic blanket or fiber optic bracket to directly contact the baby's back or torso to achieve local or whole-body irradiation. The advantage is that it is portable and can be used during breastfeeding.

Core features

1. Outstanding safety: low-intensity blue light is used for directional transmission, and the illumination range of the optical fiber directly contacting the skin is controllable, which can reduce light damage to sensitive parts such as eyes and perineum, and the energy output is stable to avoid the risk of over-exposure;

2. Significant convenience: the device is small in size, and the optical fiber can flexibly fit the skin of the child, without restricting the child's limb movement. It is suitable for continuous treatment at home or during hospitalization, and does not affect daily care such as feeding and nursing;

3. Precision adaptation: It can adjust the intensity and duration of light according to the degree of jaundice, and act on the superficial bilirubin of the skin to promote its conversion and excretion

Applicable situations:

1. Physiological jaundice: Most newborns appear in 2-3 days and disappear in 1-2 weeks, usually without treatment.

2 Pathological jaundice:

3. Excessive bilirubin levels.

4. Premature infants, hemolytic diseases, infections, etc.
