Radiant warmer

Newborn needs a warm atmosphere in the initial moments of his/her life, therefore radiant warmers are used to maintain the body temperature of newborn infants. Radiant warmer is the most basic NICU equipment and is used to maintain the body temperature of newborn and limit the metabolism rate. Some new born babies have tendency of rapid heat loss, hence warmers are used as an artificial support engine to maintain their body temperature.

A radiant warmer has a mounted overhead heating system which provides heat and an open tray where babies are kept. A temperature measuring knob is attached to babies which helps in monitoring their skin temperature and a small LCD panel displays the variation in skin temperature continuously.
