Philips UVB Phototherapy Unit For Treatment Of Vitamin-D Deficiency / SunLamp

Description

UV Therapy – most effective phototherapy for skin diseases. More than 400 independent clinical studies have proven that the UVB Narrowband lamps are safer and more effective than any other lamps in their class.

UV lamp that emits ultraviolet radiation similar to sunlight and thus produces vitamin D₃ in the skin is an excellent alternative for CF, and SBS patients who suffer from vitamin D deficiency due to fat malabsorption, especially during the winter months when natural sunlight is unable to produce vitamin D₃ in the skin. This UV lamp is widely available for commercial home use and could potentially be prescribed to patients with CF or SBS.
