dermalight®80R Woodlight

In addition to UVA irradiation, the dermalight®80R UVA Woodlight is used to detect the fluorescence of disease foci and assess pigment changes. The Woodlight should always be used when the diagnosis between a melanoma/melanocyte hyperplasia and a haematoma is clinically inconclusive. The melanoma or melanocyte hyperplasia is black under Woodlight, the haematoma is burgundy under Woodlight.
The dermalight®80R UVA Woodlight is also used for fluorescence diagnostics (FD) for in vivo diagnostics of dysplastic tissues and superficial tumours in conjunction with a locally or systemically applied dye, e.g. PPIX or 5-ALA, which are used in photodynamic therapy.
