Bili-bed for Phototherapy
Nurses' HomeCare uses the Medela Bilibed to provide phototherapy. The
Medela Bilibed is the latest innovation in the treatment of
hyperbilirubinemia. The Bilibed provides more intensive therapeutic
light than fiberoptic and conventional photoherapy units because the
infant can be placed directly on the unit rather than being wrapped in a
fluorescent panel. The single therapy light in the bed of the unit is
covered by a transparent, waterproof plate. Precisely directed light and
minimum distance to the baby provide higher irradiance levels with
superb therapeutic performance.
