A wide variety of medical procedures and treatments are able to make use of LED light sources built using chip-on-board technology, writes Oliver Kückmann. ![]()
Many of today's medical procedures, whether surgical, diagnostic, or exploratory, require special light-assisted techniques. The light required could be in the near-ultraviolet (UV), the visible (VIS) or the near-infrared (IR) wavelength regions In the case of the wavelength, the chip-on-board (COB) technology arrays can perfectly match the requirements of innovative medical technologies that require bright light, Design versatility and a compact design.
Ultraviolet refers to all electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in 10 to 400 nm range. The UVA range covers 315 to 400 nm. Wavelengths from about 345 to 400 nm are used for Blacklight effects, for example autofluorescence of fungal spores, lice or non-biological materials Mainly in the region around 365nm. UVA radiation is used for various kind of phototherapy (treatment of acne, psoriasis, eczema etc) or for photo-chemotherapy (blood radiation) and for effects that have a positive influence on the cardiovascular system including vitamine- D photosynthesis.
UVB radiation at 280 to 315 nm does not penetrate as deeply into the skin as UVA, and is largely responsible for sunburn. UVC refers to shorter UV wavelengths, usually 200 to 280 nm, and these are especially damaging to exposed cells. Such short- Wave UV is often used for germ killing purposes.
