Donating Phototherapy Unit
We are frequently asked if the Foundation can assist individuals find a new home for a phototherapy unit they no longer need. Purchasing a home phototherapy unit is very expensive and it is very generous of you to want to share it with another person living with cutaneous lymphoma. Unfortunately, we can’t legally help with the sale or donation of your used phototherapy unit due to a U.S. Code of Federal Regulations. Only physicians or licensed light manufacturers and distributors can help with the sale or trade of a phototherapy light unit.

Please contact the manufacturer of your phototherapy unit if you would like information on how to recycle the unit.
