Phototherapy device and method of use
First Claim
1. A phototherapy device comprising:
- an elastic, portable device configured to be worn surrounding an area or areas to be treated;
the device having integrated low voltage power;
electronic memory, medical sensor and communications;
multiple LED'"'"'s or laser diodes configured in multiple layers wherein said multiple layers being in a range of near contact with the skin and continuing to a distance further from the skin and wherein the LED'"'"'S or laser diodes are independently controllable using electronics and fiber optics via a microprocessor, said control including modulation, pulse rates and pulse duration.

Abstract
A device is provided, in direct skin contact, surrounding an injured area for the treatment, reduction of joint inflammation, edema and excitation of neural and muscular stimulation associated with human and mammal tissues. This therapeutic light source includes a multiplicity of light emitting diodes (LED'"'"'s) found in the ranges of 350 nm to 1000+ nm and fiber optic connections. A neoprene type material or other non-allergenic material is used to set the LED'"'"'s and fiber optics in layers consisting of contact with the skin to few centimeters from the skin tissue. Distance will vary from contact or near contact with devices to several millimeters of separation. Each LED array is independently controlled allowing for optimal modulation of light frequencies and wavelengths. Technology is integrated allowing for biomedical feedback of tissue temperature and other statistical information. A low voltage, portable power supply, is integrated into the device as well as an analog/digital, input/output connection device. The design will be created for continuous wear, flexibility and comfort.
