  • Patent number: 11103722
    Abstract: A wearable for providing light therapy to a wearer includes at least one fabric panel having an inner surface that when the wearable is worn is configured to face a wearer's skin and an outer surface opposite the inner surface and at least one side-emitting optical fiber affixed to at least one of the inner surface and the outer surface. The side-emitting optical fiber is optically connectable with an optical fiber light source and configured to project light having a therapeutic wavelength toward a wearer of the wearable. With the fabric panel laid flat, the side-emitting optical fiber includes at least one looped section that bends around more than 180 degrees.

  • Publication number: 20180318600
    Abstract: A radiant energy bandage system is disclosed including a plurality of therapeutic lamps and a controller for operating the lamps. Batteries power the lamps and are secured to a wearable fabric layer supporting the lamps and the controller. According to an exemplary embodiment, provided is a phototherapy device comprising a stretchable and/or flexible wearable therapeutic lamp platform including a plurality of radiant lamps configured to provide radiant energy to a user treatment area, a stretchable and/or flexible reflective wall including a plurality of radiant energy communication areas aligned with the radiant lamps and disposed to communicate the radiant energy to the user treatment area; and a stretchable and/or flexible adhesive layer including a first surface and a second surface, the first surface removably attached to the reflective layer and the second surface operatively associated with removably attaching the wearable therapeutic lamp platform to the user treatment area.
