Abstract:
1. A phototherapy light device for treating infants, the phototherapy light device comprising a base, an elongated neck having a proximal end affixed to the base and a distal end, a light emanating device located at the distal end of the elongated neck, the elongated neck having a proximal gooseneck flexible section having opposite ends and a distal flexible section, an inflexible intermediate tubing located between the proximal gooseneck flexible section and the distal flexible section, the elongated neck further having an outer spring assembly comprising an outer coil spring having a distal fitting and a proximal fitting, wherein the outer coil spring encircles and is generally coaxial with the proximal gooseneck flexible section, the distal fitting and proximal fitting being located at the opposite ends of the proximal gooseneck flexible section, the distal fitting having an internal diameter dimensioned to allow the outer spring assembly to slide over the proximal gooseneck flexible section to secure the outer spring assembly to the elongated neck and to allow the outer spring assembly to be slidably removable from the proximal gooseneck flexible section, the proximal gooseneck flexible section and the distal flexible section supporting the light emanating device at the distal end of the elongated neck.
