Portable Woods Lamp for Skin & Dermatology Examination

The portable Woods Lamp is a compact ultraviolet diagnostic device designed for dermatology, cosmetic analysis, and veterinary examination. Using a 365nm long-wave ultraviolet LED light source, the device helps clinicians identify fungal infections, pigmentation disorders, bacterial fluorescence, and skin abnormalities that may not be visible under normal lighting conditions.

Its lightweight wireless structure, combined with a 2× magnification optical lens, allows clear and convenient observation in clinics, hospitals, beauty centers, and mobile diagnostic settings.

Key Features of the Portable Woods Lamp

365nm Long-Wave UV LED Light Source

The device adopts a 365nm ultraviolet LED light source with long operating life and stable illumination performance. The UV wavelength helps detect fluorescence reactions associated with bacterial and fungal infections.

2× Magnification for Clear Observation

The integrated optical lens provides 2× magnification, improving visibility of skin texture, pigmentation, and lesion details during examination.

Large Viewing Area

The observation lens area measures 40 × 40 mm, offering a wider examination field for faster and more efficient diagnosis.

Wireless & Portable Design

The compact cordless structure allows clinicians to perform examinations conveniently in different environments.

• Built-in rechargeable lithium battery
• Long battery operating time
• Type-C charging interface
• Lightweight handheld operation

Clinical Applications of the Woods Lamp

The UV skin diagnostic lamp is widely used in dermatology, ophthalmology, and veterinary medicine.

Pigmentation Disorders

The Woods Lamp assists in identifying and evaluating conditions such as:

• Vitiligo
• Melasma
• Pigment loss abnormalities

It can help determine whether vitiligo is complete or incomplete and identify lesions invisible to the naked eye.

Fungal & Bacterial Infections

The UV light can reveal fluorescence caused by specific microorganisms.

Examples include:

• Tinea capitis
• Pityriasis versicolor
• Erythrasma
• Pseudomonas infections

Acne & Skin Analysis

During acne examination, the device helps evaluate the concentration of Propionibacterium acnes, especially around hair follicles and nasal folds.

Veterinary Skin Examination

The Woods Lamp is also suitable for animal dermatology, helping veterinarians detect fungal infections and skin abnormalities in pets and livestock.

Ophthalmic Screening

When slit lamps are unavailable, ophthalmologists may use the Woods Lamp to identify corneal scratches or foreign bodies.

Advantages of the Portable Woods Lamp

✔ Safe ultraviolet examination method
✔ No skin damage or sunburn risk
✔ Easy one-button operation
✔ Clear fluorescence observation
✔ Suitable for dermatology and veterinary use
✔ Portable for mobile diagnosis and home visits

The examination process is quick and non-invasive, making it suitable even for light-sensitive individuals.

Instructions for Use

Important: Use the Woods Lamp in a dark room for optimal observation.

Step 1: Clean the skin lesion area before examination.

Step 2: Turn on the device and allow it to warm up for approximately 1 minute.

Step 3: Hold the Woods Lamp approximately 10 cm from the skin surface.

Step 4: Adjust the device slightly up or down until the lesion is clearly visible.

Step 5: Observe through the optical lens with your eyes positioned approximately 25–50 mm above the device.

Step 6: Press the power button to switch off the device after use.
