Woods Diagnostic Lamp

Woods Lamp Portable Model comes with twin UV tubes to induce fluorescence in Dermatoses and an additional extra white tube for magnification. Both the lights can be operated separately. Examination of skin or hair with the Woods Lamp is a time trusted technique to aid in the clinical diagnosis of some cutaneous disorders.

Following are the indications in Dermatology:
Dermatoses in the intertrignious areas
Patches on the scalp with scaling or partial hair loss (especially with broken hairs)
Pigmentary alterations
Diagnosis of burrows in scabies
Blisters and punctuate erosions on the dorsum of hands and forearms
Tinea versicolor
Woods Lamp is inexpensive and essential laboratory equipment. Woods light examination
should be performed in a dark room, and total darkness is also satisfactory
The UV light tubes are commercially available and the emitted light is of lesser intensity
(longer wave length) than the light absorbed
