Abstract
Phototherapy systems comprising a therapeutic lamp platform for radiant lamps such as LEDs disposed in a holdable spot applicator assembly, the holdable spot applicator assembly including a reflective surface facing towards a patient and a plurality of LEDs for communicating lamp radiation from the lamps to a user. The lamps and associated circuitry are housed within a holdable elongated structure.
Claims24
A phototherapy device comprising:
- an elongated tubular body including a longitudinal length extending between a first end of the elongated tubular body and a second end of the elongated tubular body, the elongated tubular body housing a plurality of radiant lamps having a mixed combination of different wavelength radiant energy proximately located near the first end of the elongated tubular body;
- a first end surface located at the first end of the elongated tubular body, the first end surface including a concave reflective surface and a radiant energy communication area recessed from a protruding peripheral surface of the first end surface, the concave reflective surface and radiant energy communication area configured to direct the radiant energy from the plurality of radiant lamps to a user treatment area along an angular offset axis angularly offset 15 degrees to 75 degrees from a longitudinal axis associated with the longitudinal length of the elongated tubular body and the concave reflective surface configured to reflect back to the user treatment area radiant energy reflected from the user treatment area to the concave reflective surface with the protruding peripheral surface of the first end surface in contact with an area about the user treatment area, wherein the first end surface traps the radiant energy from the plurality of radiant lamps within a confine limited by the concave reflective surface, the recessed radiant energy communication area, the protruding peripheral surface of the first end surface and the user treatment area with the first end surface in contact with the area about the user treatment area;
- and
- a second end surface located at the second end of the elongated tubular body.
