An assembly of a first and second child transport apparatus is disclosed. Each apparatus may include: a frame having a frame base, at least one wheel, and a handle; at least one brake and a brake rod, wherein the brake rod is attached to the frame, and wherein the at least one brake actionable upon the wheel when the brake rod is actuated; a carriage pivotably attached to the frame; and a foldable backrest pivotably attached to a base of the carriage, wherein, in a nested position, the foldable backrest of the first apparatus is folded down and the carriage of the second apparatus is positioned partially within the carriage of the first apparatus such that the carriage of the second apparatus is disposed partially over the foldable backrest of the first apparatus; and the brake rod of the first apparatus is released by the handle of the second apparatus.

The invention relates to an infant positioning device for stabilizing and maintaining an infant in a fixed position for a lumbar puncture procedure. The device consists of a frame with openings for the infant's face and abdomen to support the infant in the proper position for the procedure and allow for unimpeded ventilation, a component of the frame to secure and stabilize the infant within the frame to prevent movement during the procedure, and an attachment stand to the frame that allows the frame to be free-standing.

A one hand swing down bed rail control having a handle with a rotating portion. The rotating portion draws in the proximal ends of first and second lines that in turn draw in the distal ends of the first and second lines that in turn disengage first and second catches between a frame of the bed rail apparatus and a pair of legs of the bed rail apparatus, where a bed rail of the bed rail apparatus is positioned adjacent to a side of a bed and the legs of the bed rail apparatus extend between a mattress and a mattress support. Once the first and second catches are disengaged, the bed rail may swing down.

A pediatric air mattress adapted for therapeutic usage, including a first air bladder and a second air bladder each respectively including at least one plastic liner defining an outer edge about which the liners are sealed to define a first air chamber within the first air bladder and a second air chamber within the second air bladder. The mattress includes first and second two-way valves through which air is selectively imported to and exported from the first air chamber and the second air chamber, respectively. The first and second air bladders respectively define a first plurality and a second plurality of apertures therethrough. The second air bladder is attached to and superposes the first air bladder such that the second air bladder is supported by the first air bladder.

Rapid evacuation of individuals from any building can be problematic. A hospital even more so as patient's often have the necessary motor skills but limited mobility. However, babies within neo-natal intensive care, infants and toddlers are particularly problematic as even under imminent danger they exhibit limited or no coordinated motor skills. In such situations an embodiment provides for evacuation devices for use by a single operator to move multiple infants or toddlers simultaneously both across a floor and down one or sets of stairs. Another embodiment provides for evacuation devices for moving intensive care neo-natal babies allowing the evacuation device to be moved by a single operator but allow another to be adjacent to the evacuation device to manually assist breathing both across the floor and within a stairwell as the evacuation device is taken down one or more sets of stairs.

The present invention provides devices and system useful for transporting infants, minimizing vibrations, noise, and associated with transport. Devices of the invention include a head gear assembly, one or more body support rolls for elevating portions of the infants body, and a mattress system with a removable insert. The invention further provides methods of use associated with such devices, including methods of stabilizing a position of an infant, reducing shock or vibration to an infant during transportation, reducing shock, vibration, or noise exposure to an infant during transportation, reducing shock or vibration while providing elevation to specific portions of an infant during transportation, and reducing the risk of intraventricular hemorrhage and/or persistent pulmonary hypertension to an infant during transportation.

A cap and container assembly includes a container having a base and a side wall extending upward from the base. The base and the side wall define an interior, and the side wall defines an opening leading to the interior. A cap moves with respect to the container between an opened position in which the opening is exposed, and a closed position in which the cap covers the opening. A tab projects outward from the cap and has a bottom surface. A spacer projects from the container side wall at a location beneath the tab when the assembly is in the closed position. The spacer bends inward towards the container in response to application of a sufficient force, to move from a locked position that blocks the bottom surface of the tab, to an unlocked position to expose at least a portion of the bottom surface of the tab.

An infant car seat challenge testing station. The testing station has a car seat holding area with means to secure straps to the holding area and an infant car seat. The testing station has a bracket to which monitoring equipment may be secured, the bracket being moveably attached to the testing station. The testing station further has storage areas and wheels for mobility.

A tubing and cable organizing device that has a main body attachable to a substrate, such as a surface, a wall, a rail, and IV pole or similarly situated surface in a medical treatment area. The organizing device having one or more bendable and non-resilient appendages extending away from the main body and configured for holding or supporting tubing and cables in a medical treatment area. The main body and appendages being covered in an elastic coating that is capable of being formed into decorative shapes or decorative colors.

A cap and container assembly includes a container having a base and a side wall extending upward from the base. The base and the side wall define an interior, and the side wall defines an opening leading to the interior. A cap moves with respect to the container between an opened position in which the opening is exposed, and a closed position in which the cap covers the opening. A tab projects outward from the cap and has a bottom surface. A spacer projects from the container side wall at a location beneath the tab when the assembly is in the closed position. The spacer bends inward towards the container in response to application of a sufficient force, to move from a locked position that blocks the bottom surface of the tab, to an unlocked position to expose at least a portion of the bottom surface of the tab.
