Abstract

Narrow-band ultraviolet B radiation is increasingly used in the therapy and recurrence prevention of autoimmune skin diseases. The popularity of this method stems from the relative safety and minimal impact on the human body during physical therapy. This paper reports on the development of a unique design of the excimer lamp equipped with a UVB dose control system, a sensor control unit with a ribbon software interface, a quick positioning system, and an electronic patient logbook. The excimer lamp is designed to provide safer and more effective UVB therapy for skin psoriasis, nail plate psoriasis, vitiligo and atopic dermatitis.
