BABYPOD

Advanced infant transport device

BABYPOD

Technology inspired by Formula One™

Infant transport devices by Advanced Healthcare Technologies

Transporting newborns & infants requires an environment that will keep them safe, secure and warm, and until now the only way to guarantee a stable warm environment for the baby has been to use a heavy, cumbersome and physically large infant transport incubator. These expensive infant transport devices require an electricity supply to function, are not always readily available, and most require dedicated vehicles.

Discover BabyPod 2, the neonatal transport device inspired by Formula One™

Using the same technology, materials and design features that protect Formula One racing car drivers from injury during a crash, the revolutionary BabyPod infant transport device range provides the security and warmth that a newborn or infant needs, at a fraction of the cost of a standard infant transport incubator, in a package that is light, easy to handle, and can attach to any transport stretcher currently available.

Our original flagship product, the BabyPod 2 Infant transport device, was developed to fill a requirement for a safety-focused, easily manageable solution for inter/intra-hospital transport of neonates, and we’ve since applied this same ethos of patient safety, warmth and comfort to provide much needed solutions in other areas of in-hospital neonatal care.
