Swaddler for Phototherapy Preemie

One of the hardest things for a preemie to do is to regulate their own body temperature. Since they come out before their body organs are prepared to handle major temperature fluctuations, the Swaddler for Phototherapy not only provides their comfort, it also provides a special light that can help with jaundice. The phototherapy blanket helps to lower the bilirubin levels in a baby’s blood to help with the process of photo-oxidation, which makes it easier for the liver to break down the bilirubin that can be potentially harmful in large quantities.

Enteral Feeding Tube

Some premature babies are not yet ready to feed on their own, which might lead them to need an enteral feeding tube. Enteral feeding tubes used to be difficult to insert, and once inserted, they could become clogged easily. That meant that they had to be extracted and replaced. For preemies and infants alike, that was a highly traumatic process. Thanks to innovative new products like the enteral feeding tube de-clogger, it is now possible to fix a clogged tube without having to remove it. And it is possible to ensure that preemies are getting all the calories that they need.

The Ear Curette

When a preemie has an ear inflection, it can be difficult to see if earwax is covering the eardrum. The problem with traditional ear cleaners is that they can inadvertently push wax further into the canal and make things worse. The ear curette’s tip makes it possible to get a better look at the drum without the risk of rupturing it by pushing wax up against it.

The Controlled Flow Baby Feeder

It is difficult enough to get preemies to consume all the calories they need to catch up. The controlled flow baby feeder helps to reduce air in the belly that can lead to gastrointestinal problems. Gastrointestinal problems can slow feeding. Since the feeders are disposable, it also cuts down on the cost. And it also cuts down on the time needed to feed little preemies who are in the NICU.
