Abstract
A phototherapy device includes a transparent member and one or more light sources mounted in relation to the transparent member for directing light through the transparent member for distribution of the light to a body part of a patient receiving phototherapy. The light source may comprise an array of LEDs supported by a base having supports for positioning the transparent member in relation to the LEDs. Also a gap may be provided between the light source and transparent member to facilitate in dissipating heat produced by the light source. Further the transparent member may be curved to fit a body part of a patient receiving phototherapy.
