 I have used bili blankets for jaundice on babies as outpatients for years.
No baby has ever gotten a burn.  The blankets don't get hot! The light source
is remote from the blanket.  This is a phone number for the Wallaby
phototherapy system that we used when I was a home health nurse. It's old but
worth a try.  I'm sure a good sales rep. will have more studies available.
1-800-257-7477 or 1-800-544-3996.  They are based in Allentown, PA.
