What is a Giraffe Unit?The Giraffe Unit is not just a bed; it is a full featured neonatal care station. It has a rotating, extra large mattress (for larger babies or even twins), an X-ray cassette tray, internal bed tilt, and an integrated in-bed scale. A warming drawer keeps diapers and blankets warm, the rail system provides mounting for IV poles, pumps, shelves and other accessories, and the elevating base accommodates taller caregivers or special procedures. Controlled humidifier, oxygen systems and temperature controls maintain precise, optimum conditions. Alarm noises and lights are designed so as not to disturb the baby. The Giraffe Bed creates a therapeutic environment for family members, too. They can hold their baby and touch her through the portholes (health permitting), and because of dual side access ports, they don't have to leave when the doctors and nurses are there caring for their infant. |  |
