Embrace®

The transport of infants is always a special challenge. In addition to providing heat and intensive medical options, transport should, of course, also be carried out safely, gently, and quickly. While in recent years the focus of transport safety has been more set on users and devices, the revision of the DIN EN 13976-2:2018 standard now clearly regulates the safety of the child being transported.

A retention system in the transport incubator is prescribed to restrict the infant‘s ability to move in such a way that, in the event of an impact with the hood or any rigid part of the incubator, considering the prescribed load (max. 20 G), there is no injury. At the same time, it must ensure that direct access to the infant is maintained in case of an emergency or deterioration in the condition.

Embrace® addresses these specific challenges in a simple manner. The transport safety system has been developed for children up to 3900 grams. Embrace® protects the infant from strong brakes, curves, and impacts of any kind. It consists of a formable vacuum mattress and a soft disposable flow cover with a safety net. The lateral Quick-Lock closures ensure the best pressure distribution across the entire restraint system and quick access to the patient. Due to the system‘s individual adaptability to the infant, problem areas such as the head and extremities can be optimally secured.
