A phototherapy bandage capable of providing radiation to a localized area
of a patient for accelerating wound healing and pain relief, photodynamic
therapy, and for aesthetic applications. The phototherapy bandage may
include a flexible light source that is continuous across the bandage for
providing a selected light, such as a visible light, a near-infrared
light, or other light, having substantially similar intensity across the
bandage. The bandage may also be flexible and capable of being attached
to a patient without interfering with the patient's daily routine. The
phototherapy bandage may easily conform to the curves of a patient and
may come in a variety of exterior shapes and sizes.
