What is Neo-Teneo?
The Neo-Teneo is a non-toxic, gel filled positioning range of gel cushions that helps to alleviate pressure caused by prolong immobilization due to other medical conditions, such as assisted ventilation, where the requirement for frequent turning or repositioning of the babies isn’t possible.
In preterm babies, bilateral head molding (plagiocephaly) is common. Less molding over time will be seen if the babies are using the soft Neo-Teneo. Plagiocephaly does affect the physical appearance sometimes causing uneven growth of the face or head.
Neo-Teneo uses a TPU covering which is strong yet pliable, unlike PVC which cracks and causes fast evaporation of fluid, both of which are of major concern.TPU is also a more durable covering and as such used more nowadays for medical devices.
However, gel pillows/ mattress are not a replacement for regular repositioning, which remains the most important strategy for preventing pressure injuries and head flattening.
