The BiliCocoon® system is designed to deliver safe, controlled phototherapy, to reduce the concentration of bilirubin in the blood. Unlike traditional phototherapy treatment, where the infant and parents are separated for long periods, the BiliCocoon® system means there can be physical contact while a baby is undergoing essential light treatment. This benefits both a baby and its parents enormously.
The BiliCocoon® system features a lightweight, portable light box connected to LED light pads that wrap around the infant, allowing parents to hold the baby and feed during treatment. There are two different versions of the system – the BiliCocoon® Bag System and the BiliCocoon® Nest System.
The BiliCocoon® Bag System provides an effective, evenly spread LED light source from two light pads, enabling 360° body surface coverage. The two pads fit inside a soft, disposable ‘bag’ which then wraps around the newborn. This increases the amount of light absorbed by the newborn and reduces the need for several phototherapy lamps. The BiliCocoon® Nest System, ideal for preterm babies, has just one LED light pad that folds around the infant, making it compatible with incubators.
