Double Surface Photography for Hospital | SST 24 LED Double Surface

A double surface phototherapy unit is designed to expose both the upper and lower surfaces of a newborn’s body to therapeutic blue light. This arrangement can increase the skin area receiving phototherapy compared with a single overhead light source.

The equipment is used in hospitals, neonatal intensive care units, maternity centres and specialised newborn-care facilities. Treatment must always be prescribed and supervised by a qualified paediatrician or neonatologist after assessing the baby’s bilirubin level, gestational age, postnatal age and clinical risk factors.

Divine Health Home Care supplies double surface phototherapy units for professional healthcare facilities across Noida, Greater Noida, Noida Extension, Delhi and Ghaziabad.

Phototherapy uses a selected range of visible blue or blue-green light to change unconjugated bilirubin into forms that the newborn’s body can eliminate more easily.

In a double surface system, an overhead light illuminates the front of the baby while an undersurface light illuminates the back. Depending on the model, the lower light source may be positioned below a transparent baby platform or incorporated into a compatible treatment surface.

Using light from two directions can increase the exposed body surface. However, treatment effectiveness also depends on irradiance, wavelength, distance, uniformity of coverage and the amount of skin exposed. The number of light panels alone does not determine whether therapy qualifies as intensive phototherapy.

Modern double surface phototherapy machines commonly use LED light sources designed for neonatal treatment. LED systems can provide targeted therapeutic light with relatively low heat generation and a longer operating life than many traditional tube-based systems.

Selected models may provide adjustable light intensity, treatment timers, lamp-usage counters or digital controls. The precise wavelength, irradiance, treatment area and adjustment functions vary between manufacturers.

Before purchasing, the hospital should examine the manufacturer’s current technical documentation and confirm that the unit meets its clinical requirements.
