ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a light emitting treatment device including one or more light members which are configured to emit energy for photodynamic therapy at a treatment field. The treatment device may be made of a polymeric material configured to conform to a body surface. The light members may be disposed in a substantially uniform array and be configured to emit energy in a substantially uniform pattern. The light emitting treatment device may provide light variable feedback to a control apparatus. The light emitting treatment device may further include a heat dissipating layer, a layer of gold or gold alloy, or a layer of adhesive disposed on at least one of the one or more surfaces. Methods of using the treatment device are also disclosed.
