PolyU and Hong Kong Research Institute of Textiles and Apparel have jointly developed an innovative phototherapy device for neonatal jaundice, called the "O-blanket", which consists of a light-emitting fabric covered by a wrapper made of top, reflective and back fabrics.

Woven from side-emitting polymer optical fibres and textile yarns, the fabric provides an irradiance area of over 830 cm2 and an irradiance intensity of over 30.0 μW/cm2/nm in 440-460 nm wavelengths, thus meeting the requirements set by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Not only has the device passed critical tests related to safety, in-vitro cytotoxicity and irritation and skin sensitization, but the light-emitting fabric used can retain its emission performance even after it has been disinfected with bleach for 140 hours.
