  Motif BiliTouch™ Biliblanket Features

  The Motif BiliTouch™ is a versatile biliblanket phototherapy device with an LED light source to conveniently treat jaundice in the hospital or at home. Jaundice refers to high levels of bilirubin in the newborn infant’s red blood cells, which leads to a yellowing of the baby’s skin and eyes. Unlike conventional phototherapy systems that are stationary, the BiliTouch™ is designed to be mobile.

  Non-invasive Treatment of Neonatal Jaundice

  Phototherapy has been recognized by healthcare providers and pediatricians as the gold standard in non-invasive treatment of neonatal jaundice for over thirty years. The treatment is applied by exposing the baby’s skin to blue light waves, which help to break up high levels of bilirubin in the baby’s blood. This quickly and safely reduces the yellowing appearance in baby’s eyes and skin. Phototherapy treatment eliminates the risk of harmful UV exposure associated with sunlight. The Motif BiliTouch™ provides multiple levels of light wave intensity, or irradiance. Newborn infants can undergo phototherapy treatment continuously if recommended by healthcare professionals, until yellow pigment in the skin and eyes is resolved and bilirubin levels reduced to levels deemed safe by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

  Advances in Phototherapy

  Hospital treatment of hyperbilirubinemia typically involves an undressed baby being placed under a stationary halogen light source or illuminator as healthcare providers monitor his or her condition. Advances in technology have led to the development of portable phototherapy devices, which can be used without physical separation from the new parents. These innovative devices ensure that dangerous levels of bilirubin can be treated as the baby is fed, held, clothed, diapered and cared for at home.
