Abstract

An apparatus for delivering phototherapy includes at least one substrate, at least one emitter mounted on the substrate, and which emits at least two peak wavelengths of light, and an electronic circuit that controls emitter timing. The apparatus is configured as a dressing. A corresponding method includes delivering a first pulse of light to the target tissue from the emitter with a peak wavelength of light, and delivering at least a second pulse of light having a peak wavelength of light that is different from the peak wavelength of the first pulse of light, and the steps define a method of delivering a series of pulse sets of light, and the first and second pulses of light define a pulse set of light. Also disclosed are modular phototherapy units, control of timing of phototherapy by a perfusion detector, and use of long wavelength light for hyperbilirubinemia.
