MRI scans for newborn and toddlers are not an everyday occurrence and pose special challenges for everyone involved due to the difficulty of achieving safe and stable positioning. To meet the high demands of this procedure, the BabyFix was developed in close collaboration with experts from the fields of neonatology, anesthesia and pediatric radiology.
The BabyFix accomplishes ideal conditions for a safe and careful examination procedure for newborn babies in the MRI scanner.
Stable, stretched and centered positioning of the baby’s head and body possible without any problems, even in narrow coils.
Permanent monitoring of vital functions through an integrated viewing window and simple routing and strain relief for monitoring cables via an in-built hose stopper.
Easy to use and intuitive enabling routine-based work in interdisciplinary teams.
