Biliblankets are a type of phototherapy used for treatment of jaundice. Phototherapy is when a light is used to shine on a newborn's body. When the light beats down on the baby's body, the bilirubin that is in their blood will break down bringing your infant's bilirubin level back to a safe level. The light that is used with a biliblanket is a blue light emitting diodes. This treatment provides your newborn a stable, thermal environment without heat transfer that halogen phototherapy devices can generate.

Jaundice affects over half of all babies in their first week of life. High bilibrubin levels in your infant's blood is what causes jaundice. One of the most significant signs of jaundice is yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes. Bilrubin is a substance that is formed when red blood cells break down. It is normally removed from the bloodstream when it passes through the liver and is excreted as bile in the intestines. The different reasons that an infant may become jaundice is from liver immaturity, breast milk jaundice (substance produced in mother's breastmilk), incompatibility jaundice (when baby and mother have 2 different blood types), and trauma during childbirth (causing bruising and destruction of the newborns red blood cells). If any of these situations occur, a biliblanket is the medical device needed to restore your infant's bilirubin back to a safe level.
