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.

Bedding for a crib mattress includes a plurality of temperature sensitive sensors disposed therein and an on-board power source. The sensors are configured to be in wireless communication with a monitoring device. A visual indicator is disposed upon the bedding and in electrical communication with the power source. The visual indicator is activated when a pre-set temperature is sensed by any one of the sensors.

A patient support apparatus comprises a support structure comprising a head end, a foot end, a base, and a patient support deck. The patient support deck comprises a fowler section at the head end and a foot section at the foot end. The fowler section is capable of articulating relative to the base. The patient support apparatus further comprises a pediatric support module comprising a seat section disposed between the fowler section and the foot section. The pediatric support module is integrated into the patient support deck and comprises a lid and a body.

The present invention relates to an incubator comprising: a main body part which has a space formed therein for accommodating an infant; supports of which the lower portions are connected to one side of the main body part; a hood driving part provided with one or more multi joint link units and pivotably coupled to the supports; a hood which is disposed above the main body part, and opens and closes the main body part by means of the operation of the hood driving part; and a heater which is mounted to the hood driving part and changes position so that a heat radiating part faces away from the main body part when the main body part is closed, and faces the main body part when the main body part is open. Thus, the present invention can be easily converted for use as a warmer.

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 temperature-controlled cradle and method of cooling same are provided. The temperature-controlled cradle may include a base having an outer housing and a cooling unit disposed within the outer housing, and a bassinet coupled to the base. The cooling unit may include a cooling plate having a first side configured to chill an interior portion of the bassinet, at least one thermoelectric cooling module coupled to a second side of the cooling plate, and a heat dissipation device configured to dissipate heat from the at least one thermoelectric cooling module.

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 infant's 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.

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 stand 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 stand to prevent movement during the procedure, and an attachment stand to the frame that allows the frame to be free-standing. Vertically adjustable shoulder guards, tension-adjustable back strap, and tension adjustable head strap are provided for a custom fit.

A neonatal retention or support system including a horizontal base configured for at least one of attachment to or placement on a mattress of a bed, and a wall attached to and extending vertically from and at least partially around the base, the wall comprising at least one pair of hinges to allow the retention system to follow an adjustment of the bed. The wall is flexible inwards to allow a person to lie on the bed, and inflexible outwards so that an infant disposed within the retention system is prevented from falling from the bed.

A thermotherapy device for treatment of neonates has a bordered lying surface (5) for receiving a neonate, a vertical support column (8) arranged adjacent to the head end of the lying surface (5) and radiant heaters (3, 4), supported by the column, directed at the lying surface (5). A control unit controls the heating output of each of the radiant heaters (3, 4). At least one first radiant heater (4) is directed at a head end half of the lying surface (5). At least one second radiant heater (3) is directed at the other half of the lying surface. The control unit (9) adjusts the heating output of the first radiant heater and the second radiant heater in such that, with the lying surface (5) arranged horizontally, the heating output of the second radiant heater (3) is greater by a predefined factor than that of the first radiant heater (4).
