CosyTherm can be used in most settings where prevention of
hypothermia in babies is required. The need for active warming is usually due to
poor thermoregulation in neonates, particularly if they are pre-term or low
birth-weight.
Neonatal Intensive Care & Special Care Baby Units
CosyTherm is ideally suited for use in Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) or
Special Care Baby Units (SCBU). It can be used as a "step down" facility
following incubator nursing to help infants still at risk of poor
thermoregulation. CosyTherm can also be used instead of an incubator where only
the warming function is needed.
Delivery Suite
The risk of hypothermia in the delivery suite has been well documented.
CosyTherm provides a simple, effective and affordable solution for this clinical
environment that does not impede access to the baby and provides warmth quickly
and effectively.
The CosyTherm mattress
can be easily fitted in a radiant warmer to give added warming in
challenging cases.
Post-Natal Wards
Active warming can also be of significant benefit for babies in a normal
post-natal setting. This is particularly true for pre-term and low birth-weight
infants. Warming applied as routine care can prevent the need for more intensive
treatment later.
Simplcity of operation is of particular benefit in
this area.
Neonatal Transport
CosyTherm can also be adapted for use in transport and patient transfer
situations. The compact, lightweight design, combined with low voltage
operation, are well suited to this application.
