Phototherapy units designed to heat the perineal region by applying the radiation of a conventional visible light bulb. These units usually consist of portable and/or handheld lamp fixtures that include switches, light intensity controls, and appropriate mechanical protection to avoid direct contact of the light bulb with the area under treatment, preventing burns. Perineal heat phototherapy units are used to help in the treatment of infections, lesions, and in other (e.g., obstetric, anal) treatments of the region.
