Transporting newborn babies requires an environment that will keep them warm, safe and secure. When neonatals are transported, they have nowhere to be placed other than in their parents arms!
These neonatals run the risk of heat loss and of injury should the transporting vehicle be involved in an accident or have to take evasive action, or in the case of an aircraft, be subject to turbulence.
Until now, the only way to guarantee a warm environment for the baby, has been to use a heavy, cumbersome and physically large transport incubator. These expensive devices require an electrical supply for them to function, are not readily available and most require dedicated vehicles.
At a cost that is less than 20% of a standard transport incubator, the NeoPod provides a simple, safe and cost effective solution to infant transport problems.
