Available directly from Digi-Key as an emitter or pre-mounted on a star board to aid in development and product integration, RayVio’s new LEDs deliver 13 mW at 100 mA and are rated for up to 10,000 hours of continuous use.
UV Treatment of psoriasis and vitiligo has been limited because of the size and cost of the equipment, as well as risk to surrounding tissue, according to Yitao Liao, chief innovation officer and co-founder at RayVio.
“Excimer laser systems address the targeting of treatment to avoid damaging healthy skin, but the systems are bulky and very expensive. Our 308 nm UV LEDs are being put into compact, handheld devices that are portable,” Liao said in an April 11 news release.
