There is sufficient evidence on the effectiveness of plastic bags/wraps in providing thermal care for preterm newborns immediately after birth. However, during stabilization and transfer of preterm newborns to specialized neonatal care wards, wrapping in plastic bags/wraps may be considered as an alternative to prevent hypothermia.
Conlett Neo-Flexi Thermal Wrap will help to maintain temperature of newborn infants. Newborn babies have a very narrow body temperature range. It is vital for the health and survival of the extremely low birth weight babies.
Thermal stress in neonates has been associated with increased morbidity with infants < 28 weeks gestation.
Delivery suites and operating theatres are generally cold environments. This can cause thermal stress for the newborn, which is associated with increased mortality and morbidity.
Many studies using plastic wraps on neonates has proven that they can be used to prevent heat losses through evaporation, convection, and conduction.
Neo-Flexi Thermal Wrap can also be used during resuscitation and transport to the NICU.
