The LuminaEX Light Patch, a lightweight and wearable silicone circuit LLLT patch that is battery operated to deliver the stimulating effects of red light for patients suffering from radiation dermatitis. The device attaches to the site similar to a bandage and the user will turn it on for therapeutic effects.
Acute radiation dermatitis is a skin condition caused by radiation. It is most commonly a side effect of radiation therapy such as cancer treatment. Annually, 4 million Americans receive radiation therapy and as a result, 90 percent of patients receive radiation dermatitis.
Looking at the current devices in the market, there is no singular product that is perfect. Many devices provide different modalities of light for different types of application as well as an easy user interface for simplified use.
In 2019, the global market size for radiation dermatitis was valued at $477.48 million in 2019, with the size expected to proliferate with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%. The actual growth of the market is complex in that it is driven as well as inhibited by multiple different factors.
