Abstract
Flexible illuminators for external phototherapy are disclosed each having at least one light generating source, preferably a plurality of light-generating sources, on a flexible substrate. The flexible substrate may be a circuit board, and the light-generating source may be surface mount LEDs. Structures for diffusing light emitted from the discrete light-generating sources and/or for transferring heat away from a skin contact surface are provided. The illuminators may be formed so as to be wrapped around an infant or a limb of an adult, or may be provided in larger configurations, such as a mat. The illuminators may be passively or actively cooled so that the skin contact surface remains below a desired temperature.
