TH23970Y - Swaddling a baby during a nursing procedure. - Google Patents

Abstract

The infant swaddle blanket for use during nursing procedures consists of a front body section, which is custom-cut to fit the length and width of the infant's torso. Openings are made at the legs, and Velcro fasteners are sewn around three sides to allow for individual opening and closing of the blanket at each leg. The back body section is sewn to the sides along the entire length of the front body section, with an extension of fabric across the torso and Velcro fasteners for adjustable securing to prevent the infant from slipping out. The top section is cut into a hood shape and constructed with two layers of fabric: an outer layer of cotton and an inner layer of fleece, padded with a soft polyester fiber filling. The design allows for opening only the arms or legs requiring intervention to provide warmth and reduce hypothermia.

Claims (1)

1. The swaddling cloth for infants during nursing procedures consists of: the front body (1), which is a piece of fabric cut into shapes to fit the length and width of the body from the chest to the arms and legs of the infant. The fabric is cut into a vertical rectangle to fit the size and align with both legs, and Velcro is sewn around three edges of the fabric, with the hook side of the Velcro sewn to the inner fabric (4) and the soft fiber side of the Velcro sewn to the outer fabric (5) to allow the fabric to be opened and closed around the right leg (2) and the left leg (3). The back body (6) is sewn to the sides along the length of the front body (1) to be symmetrical, leaving a seam at the front edge above the chest of the front body (1) to create an opening for inserting the infant into the cloth (15). The back body (6) is a piece of fabric cut into shapes to fit the width and The length of the body from the neck, arms and legs, along with fabric extending outwards transversely on both sides of the body (7), with soft Velcro sewn to the inner fabric (8) and barbed Velcro sewn to the outer fabric (9) of the back fabric extending transversely on the body (7), allows for wrapping or securing the baby's body and adjusting the level to fit the baby's size to prevent the baby's arms from slipping out of the fabric. If a procedure needs to be performed on the hands or arms, the baby's arms can be brought out of the fabric one at a time for the procedure. In addition, the front body fabric (1) and the back body fabric (6) are sewn closed in the middle between the two legs (11) to prevent the leg not being operated on from passing through to the opposite leg. The top of the fabric at the head (10) is a fabric cut into the shape of a hat, curved to fit the baby's head, and sewn to the back body (6). This design is intended to completely enclose the baby's body except for the face. It has the following characteristics: the front body (1), the back body (6), and the top of the head (10) are made of two layers of fabric, using a sewing technique that hides the edges of the fabric and thread inside so that they do not come into direct contact with the baby's skin. The outer layer is cotton (12), and the inner layer that comes into contact with the baby's body is soft fleece or polyester (13). In the middle, a soft polyester fiber sheet (14) is inserted and sewn throughout the fabric and cannot be removed. It has the property of being a heat insulator, reducing heat loss from the baby. It is designed to wrap around and cover the entire body except the face. Only the arms or legs that need to be operated on can be opened to prevent hypothermia. Soft Velcro is sewn onto the fabric to help secure the limbs so that they do not move during the procedure.
