‘Babytherm’ - Infant warming bed
The Babytherm 8000 is a warming bed providing conductive heat through an actively heated gel mattress. The bed can be tilted between 20° down and 15° up. Its height is adjustable and the side panels can be folded down to provide complete access. Babies cared for in this type of incubator experience less stress because of the comfortable warmth of the gel mattress and grow faster.
This open care system is effective in weaning babies from being dependant on external heat to maintain their temperature.

Giraffe OmniBed Incubator
Giraffe OmniBed is a fully featured neonatal intensive care station that combines the thermal advantages of a double walled incubator with the access advantages of an open bed radiant warmer. Conversion between an incubator and open bed warmer happens in seconds with the touch of a button.
The Giraffe OmniBed Incubator is specially designed to eliminate the need to transfer critically ill babies between incubator and open warmer. It provides instant and uncompromised access to perform procedures; eliminates stress of moving critically ill infants from bed to bed; provides a stable thermal microenvironment in either incubator or radiant warmer mode; facilitates appropriate patient stimulation and improves quality of care through reduction of patient trauma, family stress and staff effort. This allows the baby to rest and grow and reduces their stay in the N.N.U.
