Patent ID: 8425577

Claim:
A red and near infra-red light, phototherapy apparatus, comprising: a user support having a user surface comprising an acrylic support portion and a lower red-light source attached beneath said acrylic support portion, said acrylic support portion being substantially transparent to a range of wavelengths emitted by a red-light Light Emitting Diode (LED) source and by and infra-red light LED source; and wherein said light sources are positioned to provide red-light and infra-red light illumination to substantially the entirety of said acrylic support portion from below; a canopy; an upper red and infra-red light LED source attached to said canopy such that, when said canopy is adjusted to an operational position, said upper red and infra-red light LED sources are located to provide red and infrared light illumination to substantially the entirety of said user surface of the user support, from above; and wherein said upper and lower red and infra-red light LED sources comprise at least one removable multi-bulb LED strip, said removable multi-bulb LED strip having a rigid base substantially equal in length to the support and being comprised of evenly spaced alternating red and infra-red LED light sources; and wherein said red-light LED source provides light substantially exclusively in a narrow bandwidth, wavelength range of approximately 625 nm to 645 nm, and said infra-red light LED source provides light substantially exclusively in a narrow bandwidth, wavelength range of approximately 820 nm to 860 nm.
