Embodiment Construction

[0061] In FIG. 1 , a cross-sectional view of human skin 106 is shown. The top layer of human skin 106 is epidermis 102 . Beneath the epidermis layer 102 is a dermis layer 104 below which there is a subcutaneous tissue layer 107 . The dermis 104 has many thermal sensors. If these thermal sensors sense heat, the human body can respond with a vasodilation response that locally enhances blood circulation in the skin and areas close to the heat being felt.

[0062] An axis 112 is provided at the right end of the figure, which shows the thickness of these layers in micrometers (μm). It should be noted that the thickness of these layers may vary depending on the particular location of the skin 106 on the body.

[0063] When light 108 of a particular wavelength spectrum is shone onto skin 106, a portion 110 of the light is reflected. Specific wavelengths penetrate deeper into human skin 106 than other wavelengths because these other wavelengths are absorbed by specific layers of s...

Abstract

A flexible light therapy device, a bandage and a plaster for providing a therapeutic effect to a treatment target area (226) of a living being are provided. The flexible light therapy device comprises a light source (214) for emitting light (220), a light transmitting element (212) and a heat management means (210). The light transmitting element (212) is of a flexible light transmitting material and is optically coupled to the light source (214). The light transmitting element (212) comprises a light exit window (222) to emit the light (220) towards the treatment target area (226). The heat management means (210) is thermally coupled to the treatment target area (226) and distributes heat and controls the distribution of heat across the treatment target area (226). Part of the distributed heat may originate from the light source (214).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to flexible phototherapy devices. The flexible phototherapy device can be implemented in a plaster or bandage that can be attached to the skin of a human or animal and / or can be wrapped around a body part of a human or animal. [0002] Flexible phototherapy devices include a light source that produces light that is shone onto the skin of a human or animal being treated and, depending on the color of the light, penetrates to specific depths into the tissue beneath the skin's surface. When the transmitted light is absorbed in the tissue, the tissue warms. Warming of the tissues in and beneath the skin is a healthy and pleasurable experience and also has therapeutic effects, especially pain relief. The benefits of heat are based on a vasodilatory response in the skin that locally enhances blood circulation. This results in a higher metabolic rate and transport of metabolites and other essential biochemical compounds. Light ...
