The Benjamin Incubator Cover
Light reduction is related to improved stability and is an important part of individualized developmental care for preterm infants. It is scientifically proven that it positively impacts the need for respiratory support, motor development, weight gain and uptake duration.
The incubator cover is specially developed to allow the smallest patients to get used to light and sound stimuli. Depending on the development and stability of the child, the incubator cover can be used according to the hospital’s own protocol. The incubator can be optimally darkened, so that negative stimuli are minimized.
The minimal number of flaps and the excellent wash ability (60-90 degrees) make this an ideal incubator cover for every neonatology department. By using the incubator cover, a safe environment is created, while parents and medical staff will have quick and easy access to the child.
