Neonatal incubators

Neonatal incubators for newborns (isolettes) are special medical equipment for nursing and resuscitation of infants born prematurely, weak, with low body weight, pathological defects of internal organs and systems, and intrauterine growth retardation.

About 10% of newborn babies need such medical care. Previously, such diagnoses were a sentence, but current therapy technologies allow nursing premature babies and giving them a chance for a full life.

A premature baby is placed inside an incubator, in which heat is evenly distributed, a comfortable level of air humidity is maintained, and a constant oxygen level is kept. The walls of isolettes are transparent, which allows medical staff to visually monitor the infant’s condition. On the side, there is access to the newborn’s body for medical manipulations and treatment.

Types of Neonatal Isolettes

Incubators can be stationary or mobile. Stationary models are usually based in intensive care or neonatal departments of medical institutions; mobile devices are used by ambulance crews. Mobile models provide everything for autonomous operation — their own source of the air mixture, equipment for infusion therapy and artificial lung ventilation, etc.

By design, neonatal isolettes are:

• of standard modification with a full set of functions to maintain comfortable conditions during nursing;
• multifunctional models, in which, in addition to the basic ones, additional options are installed;
• transformers — these are incubators that, if necessary, can be transformed into an open resuscitation system.

Exactly which incubator for newborns to order depends on the specifics of the medical institution. Our specialists will help you choose the optimal isolettes, in which a balance between cost and quality is maintained.

Functions of Infant Incubators

The main task of a neonatal incubator is to maintain comfortable conditions for the baby, namely:

• temperature;
• humidity;
• oxygen level.

It is also important to constantly monitor the child’s body temperature, because newborns lose heat quickly. In addition, isolettes have the following features:

• double walls, between which an air circulation system operates;
• controlled liquid crystal displays for showing the main microclimate data inside the incubator;
• automatic temperature regulation;
• wheels and an amortization system for transportation;
• an alarm system in case of equipment failures in the form of light and sound signals;
• the ability to transform the isolette into a crib for the infant’s interaction with the mother;
• additional options: control of the oxygen level in the baby’s blood, weight screening, etc.

The design of the isolette is projected in such a way that medical staff have access to the child at any moment. Also, holes in the walls of the incubator make it possible for two specialists to work simultaneously. How much infant incubators cost can be found out by the phone numbers listed on the website.

How to Choose an Incubator for Neonatal Intensive Care Units

The best choice for intensive care and neonatal departments is multifunctional isolette models. They create a comfortable microclimate for a premature baby, allow clinic staff to safely conduct diagnostics and treatment.

If you plan to buy infant incubators, focus on the following criteria:

1. The crib should change the position of the child for manipulations, including allowing the newborn baby to take the Trendelenburg position. The angle of inclination must be adjustable. Also, during radiography, it is desirable to have a built-in cassette holder in the design; this will reduce the number of manipulations.
2. The mattress on the crib should have anti-decubitus properties, effectively distribute body weight, and minimize contact pressure.
3. The monitoring system must be electronic to automatically monitor indicators and take measurements regularly.
4. The incubator must be transparent, and its lid and side walls should open easily to provide quick access to the baby’s body.
5. The box design should have double walls between which warm air circulates freely.
6. The device should have ports provided for connecting other medical apparatus, and rails for fixing them.

Another criterion is the ease of use of the design, simple control and monitoring, the presence of microclimate parameter calculation. In our catalog, you can find incubators for newborns that fully meet all requirements.
