3.5 BABYWRAP™
The BabyWrap™ has compartments that hold
the newborn and the heated WarmPak™, and
ensure that the two are in good thermal contact
with each other. The BabyWrap™ also traps the
heat from the WarmPak™ and provides a warm,
insulating microclimate to the newborn.
The contour of the BabyWrap™ fits snugly
around the newborn and the tapered ends
prevent accidental slipping. The spacious,
insulated hood region minimizes risk of
suffocation, while at the same time controlling
heat loss through the head.
The BabyWrap™ has been engineered to minimize heat loss from the WarmPak™ to the
surroundings, thus ensuring that the WarmPak™ stays effective for a long time.
BabyWrap™ design features
•
The BabyWrap™ is reusable and easy to sanitize with a disinfecting cotton swab.
•
The WarmPak™ compartment is heavily insulated on the outside to minimize heat loss from
the WarmPak™. The flaps that cover the newborn also are sufficiently insulated so as to
minimize heat loss, and trap the heat, creating a warm microclimate for the newborn.
•
The WarmPak™ compartment is also made of waterproof material. In the event the
WarmPak™ were to develop a leak, the newborn would be protected from being exposed to
the contents of the WarmPak™.
•
The thin fabric between the newborn and the WarmPak™ compartment facilitates maximum
heat transfer from the WarmPak™ to the newborn in the BabyWrap™.
•
The newborn compartment is made of fluid-proof, bacteria-resistant, skin-safe TPU fabric.
•
The inner surface of the newborn compartment has been designed to minimize seams, and
potential dirt traps.
•
The BabyWrap™ is compatible with oxygen and IV lines. It also has an observation window
to facilitate newborn monitoring.
