Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a swaddling unit for swaddling, supporting and lifting a baby. More specifically, the present invention is for premature or ill infants, who may have special developmental requirements, which can be improved through proper care, support, handling and positioning.
  • Improvements in medical technology have increased the overall survival rate of prematurely born infants and/or infants born with medical complications.
  • premature and critically ill infants, or developmentally challenged infants experience developmental problems since they are not prepared to handle the stimuli of the extravitro world as a result of their young gestational age, health status or other developmental limitation.
  • the premature babies are often subjected to a variety of patient treatment devices, such as catheter tubes of various functions, feeding tubes, breathing tubes, and electrode lead lines of various monitoring devices.
  • patient treatment devices such as catheter tubes of various functions, feeding tubes, breathing tubes, and electrode lead lines of various monitoring devices.
  • tubing and lead lines operatively interconnected with the infant patient must often be taped or similarly secured in place, both as to the infant and in relation to e.g. the intensive care unit.
  • handling includes, but is not limited to, lifting, nursing, dressing and adjusting technical devices attached to the baby.
  • Modification of the environment helps the infants to regulate their physiological and behavioral functioning.
  • Basic and critical components of the environmental modification include providing proper support and positioning of the infant and minimization of stress.
  • the baby is alternatively often swaddled in the blanket. This is an age-old technique utilized in many countries, and is the art of snugly wrapping an infant in a blanket for warmth and security, leaving the infant with a sense of well being, as if the infant were still in the mother's womb.
  • premature babies are often subjected to a variety of patient treatment devices and if access is required to the baby, for example to adjust a feeding tube, take a blood sample or simply nurse the baby, a large portion of the swaddling have to be removed in order for the health career to be able to handle the baby properly, thereby exposing a large part of the baby's body.
  • this exposure will not only reduce the infant's body temperature but also provide an overall stressful environment, thereby hampering healthful development.
  • swaddles utilized added fasteners such as zippers, Velcro®, snaps, pockets and buttons.
  • fasteners such as zippers, Velcro®, snaps, pockets and buttons.
  • the zipper cannot achieve the tightness needed for a secure feeling nor does it allow for needed size adjustments.
  • Velcro® is noisy and while attempting to adjust the blanket to infant size for the needed tight fit, the caretaker can awaken and startle a sleeping infant, contrary to the desirable aspects of the swaddle method.
  • WO2007141490 describes a neonatal swaddling device arranged as a bag or sleeve having perforations to facilitate access to the baby in the region of its umbilical stump or to the baby's arms.
  • US4254900 describes a baby carrier, which can be used for swaddling a baby.
  • both of the constructions described in these publications cannot be fitted snugly to the baby's body nor does the design of the swaddling devices allow e.g. a health career to nurse the baby or change the baby's diaper, without removing either the baby from the swaddling or exposing a large part of the baby's body, with the consequence that the baby e.g. risk getting cold which could be dangerous for especially a premature baby.
  • the swaddling unit comprises a lifting cloth and a swaddling cloth and wherein the lifting cloth and the swaddling cloth are only partly connected to each other, and wherein the swaddling cloth is arranged for swaddling the baby and the lifting cloth is arranged for lifting the swaddling unit.
  • the swaddling cloth is preferably divided into sections arranged for in co-operation swaddling the baby, in preferably in a way that restricts movements of the limbs of the baby.
  • Babies that are wrapped in a snug bundle promote an increase in their emotional well.-being as well and the swaddling imitates conditions in the womb.
  • Premature babies often have lower muscle tone and less control of their arms and legs and swaddling will therefore help the infant feel more secure.
  • the swaddling will reduce detrimental stimuli to the lowest possible level and therefore promote homeostasis.
  • a swaddling unit according to the invention a weak and vulnerable neonatal or premature born baby can be lifted without in any way being harmed since the baby still is effectively protected by means of the swaddling cloth against being injured by influences from the environment.
  • the term "connected” means that the swaddling cloth and the lifting cloth are securely attached to each other, preferably in an irreversible manner and the term “partly” means that the cloths only are attached/connected in some areas, leaving other areas of the cloths free.
  • the swaddling cloth and the lifting cloth are connected only in a center area, which in a preferred embodiment is the area supporting the baby when the swaddling unit is in the lifting state.
  • the means for connecting the two different cloth together will advantageously also function as a reinforcement, providing an additional level of security during the lifting process.
  • the swaddling cloth and the lifting cloth can be connected and/or assembled by means of any convenient technology, e.g. by stitching or welding the two cloths together.
  • a preferred method of connecting the two different cloths together is by using ultrasonic welding.
  • the term "baby”, “infant”, “premature baby” and “neonatal baby” is used interchangeable, and the person skilled in the art will from the present application understand that the swaddling unit according to the invention can be used for any kind of baby in need of swaddling, included but not limited to, premature babies, neonate and/or ill babies.
  • Neonates typically enjoy, and in fact need, a swaddled or enclosed space in which they are cradled and securely held. This position provides a degree of psychological stability and comfort as the infants make the transition from the womb to the outside world.
  • a developmentally challenged infant needs to be positioned and supported by a system, which can be configured for his/hers specific needs.
  • the swaddling cloth according to the invention preferably is made from a soft and flexible non-woven fabric said cloth would be able to easily be reconfigured as the infant grows or as his/hers needs change so that the support and positioning is always appropriate for the stage of development or status of condition.
  • said cloth is also standardized, meaning that it can be used for babies with different needs,, such that hospital personnel, and even parents can use the cloth in a easy and convenient manner without complications.
  • the swaddling cloth according to the invention preferably comprises a number of sections it is possible to only partly open the cloth and thereby ensure that the temperature is maintained at a desired level. Between said section is preferably arranged at least one slit for accommodating patient care tubes or the like.
  • slit is not limited to long, straight, narrow cut or openings, but is intended to cover any kind of opening between two section which is capable of accommodating patient care tubes or the like, and which ensures that e.g. patient care tubes with a minimal interaction with the swaddling unit can be positioned and subsequently repositioned.
  • the swaddling cloth according to the invention can comprises a lower section to be wrapped over a lower part of the baby, a side section divided into a lower half side section to be wrapped over the lower section and a lower part of the baby and an upper half side section to be wrapped over an upper part of the baby and if desired over at least a part of the head of the baby, a slit is preferably formed between the upper and lower side sections and another slit is preferably formed between the lower section and the lower half of the side sections.
  • the swaddling cloth can comprise more or less sections for covering the baby, pending on the demands and needs of the baby, as long as said swaddling cloth is capable of fitting snugly and tight around the baby while still providing access for the needed patient treatment devices.
  • the premature baby can easily be subjected to a variety of patient treatment devices. If access is required to the baby, for example to adjust a feeding tube, take a blood sample or simply nurse the baby, only the relevant sections of the swaddling cloth have to be removed in order for the health career to be able to handle the baby properly, since only a very limited part of the baby's body is exposed. This will not only reduce the outside stimuli to a minimum but also ensure that the infant's body temperature is maintained.
  • the lifting cloth can be formed with a handle for manually lifting the baby.
  • Said handle preferably comprises two opposite lifting openings arranged for lifting the lifting cloth with the baby swaddled in the swaddling cloth.
  • Such a handle is a simple, inexpensive, comfortable and also very secure means for manually lifting a baby swaddled in the swaddling cloth when a hand inserted in both openings brings the openings close to each other.
  • Other handles can also be contemplated within the scope of the present invention.
  • the handle can be used also for carrying the baby, the person skilled in the art will understand that it is preferred to support the baby further, with the caregivers hand and/or arms, if the baby has to be carried and/or transported for more than a short distance.
  • said handle can in some situations conveniently be used, if the baby only have to be moved back and forth e.g. from an incubator to a weight standing next to said incubator.
  • the openings can according to the invention moreover be placed in such way in the lifting cloth that the handle, in form of both openings, will be situated vertically above the center of gravity of the baby swaddled in the swaddling during a lifting operation.
  • the handle is simply through openings in the lifting cloth, however in a different embodiment the openings are reinforced, e.g. by welding along the periphery of said openings.
  • the swaddling cloth according to the invention can be made of one or more layers. It is however preferred that independently on the number of layers, the swaddling cloth is made of a super soft, flexible, thermally insulating non-woven material, which is permeable for moisture emitted from the baby and for air too, so that the baby is allowed to breath even if some of the swaddling cloth covers the face of the baby more or less.
  • the non-woven material is preferably of a kind, which doesn't absorb moisture.
  • the surface of both the inner and outer side of the swaddling cloth is preferably identical, and has a sufficient roughness in order to prevent that the swaddling cloth, when being wrapped around the baby loosens or detach because overlapping parts of the swaddling cloth tends to slide from each other when the surfaces are too smooth.
  • the only means for swaddling the baby is the swaddling cloth, and it is preferred that said swaddling cloth does not comprise any added fasteners such as zippers, Velcro®, snaps, pockets and/or buttons. In this way it is possible to adjust the swaddling cloth to the desired tight fit, without awaken and startle a sleeping infant as the use of noisy and inconvenient additional fasteners are eliminated.
  • the lifting cloth is preferable made of a strong and solid non-woven material, which has a smooth inner side while the outer side may have a honeycombed or figured structure.
  • the non-woven material of the lifting cloth is preferably also permeable for moisture and air.
  • the lifting cloth is preferably arranged for being able to lift more than 6 kg, preferably more than 8 kg, as this ensures that the swaddling unit according to the invention can be used for e.g. premature babies without having to worry about the swaddling unit not being able to withstand the lift.
  • the lifting cloth is resistant and/or repels liquid, as this will ensure that any moisture or liquid in a location where the swaddling unit is placed, will not be absorbed by the lifting cloth, preventing the baby from being exposed to unnecessary moisture.
  • Such effects can e.g. be achieved by coating the lifting cloth with a liquid resistant component.
  • a liquid resistant component is well known in the art, and will not be explained in further details here. It is however relevant that both the lifting cloth and the swaddling cloth do not contain any materials which is harmful for the baby, and the unit is therefore preferably made of a hypoallergenic material that is non-reactive with the patient's tissue.
  • the swaddling cloth according to the invention can further comprise an absorbent layer, which will ensure that any unnecessary moisture will be transported away from the baby.
  • Said absorbent layer can within the scope of the present invention be part of the swaddling cloth or an independent cloth placed in combination with the swaddling cloth.
  • the swaddling unit is intended for being disposed after use, thereby providing a unit which is more convenient and hygienic in use than hitherto known.
  • the invention relates also to a method for swaddling and lifting a neonatal or premature born baby by means of the swaddling unit and optionally carry the infant from one location to another.
  • This method can according to the invention comprise the steps of laying the baby on the swaddling unit, wrapping the lower section of the swaddling cloth over a lower part of the baby, and wrapping the side sections of the swaddling cloth over the lower section and the body of the baby and if desired over at least a part of the head of the baby.
  • the invention relates moreover also to a use of the swaddling unit and comprises the steps of uncovering a selected part of the baby only, positioning and subsequently repositioning patient care tubes or the like through a slit.
  • the swaddling unit according to the invention is an essential medical device which can be used either alone, as a means for swaddling and/or lifting the baby from one position to the next, or in combinations with other well known devices for premature babies, e.g. incubators and devices which helps maintaining the premature baby in a fetal position.
  • An example of such a device is the fetal position device described in the inventor's European Patent No. 1474019 .
  • the swaddling unit according to the invention is especially adapted for swaddling a neonatal or premature born baby, who owing to the condition of such babies has very special requirements.
  • the desired material for the swaddling cloth is soft, flexible, thermally insulating and permeable for moisture and air, so that the baby is allowed to breath even in the situations were some of the swaddling cloth covers the face.
  • Fig. 1 shows in unfolded state a lifting cloth 1 for lifting a neonatal or premature baby wrapped in a swaddling cloth 2, which in fig. 2 is shown also in an unfolded state.
  • the lifting cloth is formed with two opposite lifting openings 3 arranged for optionally carrying the lifting cloth being in the lifting state shown in fig. 10 .
  • the surface of both the inner and outer side of the swaddling cloth is sufficiently rough to prevent that the swaddling cloth when being wrapped above the baby comes loose because overlapping parts of the swaddling cloth tends to slide from each other when the surfaces are too smooth.
  • the lifting cloth 1 is preferable made of a strong and solid non-woven material, which has a smooth inner side while the outer side may have a honeycombed or figured structure. Also the non-woven material of the lifting cloth is permeable for moisture.
  • a neonatal or premature baby 6 is moreover placed upon the swaddling cloth in a preferable supine position.
  • the swaddling cloth can however be used also when the baby is laid in a prone position (not shown) since the swaddling cloth, as mentioned above, is permeable for air so that the baby can breath also in the prone position.
  • the baby 6 has a body 7, head 8, arms 9 and legs 10 and is placed with its head upon an upper section of the swaddling cloth.
  • the swaddling cloth is therefore provided with a lower section 11 to be wrapped over a lower part of the baby and two opposite side sections 12 to be wrapped over said lower section and an upper part of the baby.
  • Each of the side sections 12 is moreover divided up into an upper half 12a - and lower half 12b section by means of a slit 13. Between the lower section 11 and the lower half 12b of the side sections is formed another slit 14.
  • the baby will, when covered with the swaddling cloth in this way, carefully be kept warm while at the same time the arms and legs of the baby conveniently is restrained. In this way the body of the baby is properly supported and the overall environmental stress accordingly reduced, the baby can properly rest thereby promoting healthful development. If a baby doesn't receive the necessary rest, environmental stresses and bodily discomfort can slow the development of the baby.
  • the covering of the baby by means of the swaddling unit takes place as shown in fig. 4 - 9 .
  • the side sections are, as mentioned above, separated in upper and lower half's 12a and 12b, whereby it is possible to gain access to particular parts of the baby, by unfolding only one or two halves of the side sections 11 so that the baby in this way advantageously will not be fully exposed to the environment so that the baby doesn't risk to get cold which could be dangerous for especially a premature baby.
  • one or both of the side sections and/or the lower section within the scope of the invention can be divided further by means of more slits (not shown), so that only very little of the baby's body needs to be uncovered for examination and/or treatment.
  • Fig. 7 shows the same as in fig. 6 , but with the difference that the lower section 11 and the lower half 12b of the side sections of the swaddling cloth are arranged in such way that only a desired part of the baby is uncovered.
  • the swaddling cloth will still keep the baby in a desired position and cover nearly all of the body of the baby.
  • the condition of a premature born baby is normally so critical that monitoring of indications of the condition of the baby as e.g. pulse and temperature is necessary constantly.
  • fig. 7 In fig. 7 is shown a situation where patient care tubes 16, e.g. IV lines or electrical wires are passed through the slits between the sections for being connected to a monitoring instruments or drips 17.
  • patient care tubes 16 e.g. IV lines or electrical wires are passed through the slits between the sections for being connected to a monitoring instruments or drips 17.
  • fig. 8 has the upper half 12a of the side sections been partly folded over the face of the baby for in the best possible way protecting against cooling, disturbing light and noise. Said upper half or part of it can also be laid underneath the face of the baby for collecting and/or absorbing secretions from the baby, or cover the face of the baby completely.
  • the lifting cloth 1 has been folded as shown in an elevated view in fig. 10 with the lifting openings 2 placed opposite and close to each other so that they together make up a handle to be used for lifting the baby by means of a single hand.
  • Fig. 11 shows a second embodiment of a swaddling unit according to the invention, which in principal corresponds to the first embodiment.
  • the lifting cloth 1' and the swaddling cloth 2' are of the same size.
  • the swaddling unit is shown in the unfolded state.
