Abstract

Phototherapy systems comprising a therapeutic lamp platform for radiant lamps such as LEDs disposed in an assembly including a reflective surface facing towards a patient and a plurality of light apertures substantially aligned with the LEDs for communicating lamp radiation from the lamps to a user. The lamps and associated circuitry are disposed so that the reflective surface is relatively smooth and seamless towards the patient. The walls have a malleable rigidity for flexible adjustability relative to the user, and the device is mounted to the user with a frame.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A phototherapy device comprising:
a wearable therapeutic lamp platform including a plurality of radiant lamps emitting radiant energy at two or more wavelengths, and a flexible reflective wall providing an external reflective surface of the therapeutic lamp platform, the external reflective surface facing a user treatment area and including a plurality of radiant energy communication areas, each of the plurality of radiant energy communication areas directly aligned with one of the plurality of radiant lamps and extending through the external reflective surface to communicate the radiant energy from the radiant lamps to the user treatment area associated with a user, wherein the reflective wall is further formed to disperse the radiant energy across the user treatment area and reflect the radiant energy from the user treatment area back to the user treatment area, and wherein upon device receipt on the user the reflective wall expands to a form to match a size of the user treatment area; and
a frame for supporting the platform on the user and positioning the therapeutic lamp platform to position the reflective wall towards the user treatment area and to space the reflective wall from the user treatment area at a distance covering a complete nose of the user and spaced from the complete nose of the user to provide ventilation and clearance between the reflective wall and the complete nose of the user, and the frame including an eye shielding lens.

2. The phototherapy device according to claim 1 , further comprising an outer wall spaced from the reflective wall, wherein the radiant lamps are interposed between the outer wall and the reflective wall.

3. The phototherapy device according to claim 1 , further comprising an outer wall spaced from the reflective wall, wherein at least a portion of the radiant lamps are interposed between the outer wall and the reflective wall.

4. The phototherapy device according to claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the radiant lamps are recessed relative to the reflective wall.

5. The phototherapy device according to claim 1 , wherein the frame is an eyeglass frame.

6. The phototherapy device according to claim 1 , wherein the frame includes a left temple arm and a right temple arm, each temple arm including an ear latch.

7. The phototherapy device according to claim 1 , wherein the frame is pivotally attached to the platform.

8. The phototherapy device according to claim 1 , wherein the frame is attached to an inner surface of the platform.

9. The phototherapy device according to claim 1 , wherein the frame includes a foldable left temple arm and a foldable right temple arm.

10. The phototherapy device according to claim 1 , wherein the frame includes a telescoping foldable left temple arm and a telescoping foldable right temple arm.

11. A phototherapy device comprising:
a wearable therapeutic lamp platform including a plurality of radiant lamps emitting radiant energy at two or more wavelengths, and a flexible reflective wall providing an external reflective surface of the therapeutic lamp platform, the external reflective surface facing a user treatment area and including a plurality of radiant energy communication areas, each of the plurality of radiant energy communication areas directly aligned with one of the plurality of radiant lamps and extending through the external reflective surface to communicate the radiant energy from the radiant lamps to the user treatment area associated with a user, wherein the reflective wall is further formed to disperse the radiant energy across the user treatment area and reflect the radiant energy from the user treatment area back to the user treatment area, and wherein upon device receipt on the user the reflective wall expands to a form to match a size of the user treatment area; and
a frame for supporting the platform on the user and positioning the therapeutic lamp platform to position the reflective wall towards the user treatment area and to space the reflective wall from the user treatment area at a distance covering a complete nose of the user and spaced from the complete nose of the user to provide ventilation and clearance between the reflective wall and the complete nose of the user, and the frame including an eye shielding cover.

12. The phototherapy device according to claim 11 , further comprising an outer wall spaced from the reflective wall, wherein the radiant lamps are interposed between the outer wall and the reflective wall.

13. The phototherapy device according to claim 11 , further comprising an outer wall spaced from the reflective wall, wherein at least a portion of the radiant lamps are interposed between the outer wall and the reflective wall.

14. The phototherapy device according to claim 11 , wherein at least a portion of the radiant lamps are recessed relative to the reflective wall.

15. The phototherapy device according to claim 11 , wherein the frame is an eyeglass frame.

16. The phototherapy device according to claim 11 , wherein the frame includes a left temple arm and a right temple arm, each temple arm including an ear latch.

17. The phototherapy device according to claim 11 , wherein the frame includes a foldable left temple arm and a foldable right temple arm.

18. The phototherapy device according to claim 11 , wherein the frame is pivotally attached to the platform.

19. The phototherapy device according to claim 11 , wherein the frame is attached to an inner surface of the platform.

20. The phototherapy device according to claim 11 , wherein the frame includes a telescoping foldable left temple arm and a telescoping foldable right temple arm.
