KIDS gives CosyTherm the thumbs up

We are delighted to see that our CosyTherm system, designed to keep babies warm during transportation, has been given a ringing endorsement by Birmingham Children’s Hospital Foundation Trust.
The hospital’s Kids Intensive Care and Decision Support (KIDS) has included our CosyTherm in their competition entry for a Paediatric Intensive Care event at the RCS.
KIDS coordinates the transport of very sick children between intensive-care units in children's hospitals all over the Midlands.
KIDS recently conducted a trial of the CosyTherm with our BabyPod our safe, lightweight way solution for transporting babies up to 9kg to hospital or between departments.
It found that the CosyTherm delivers huge cost savings and is safe and effective for transfer of babies weighing more than 2kg. It’s key findings included:

• Babies weighing more than 2kg maintained or slightly increased their core temperature during transport compared with other systems.
• CosyTherm is affective for babies more than 2kg in weight
• Use of the CosyTherm reduces clinical waste
• CosyTherm is easy to clean after use
• CosyTherm offers massive cost savinfs
• CosyTherm means reduced need for storage.

Ferno managing director Jon Ellis: “We are delighted with KIDS’s research regarding the CosyTherm and the fact that Birmingham Children’s Hospital Foundation Trust can actually make savings using this important paediatric transport solution.”
The CosyTherm provides a simple, effective and affordable solution for this clinical environment that does not impede access to the baby and provides warmth quickly and effectively. The CosyTherm mattress can be easily fitted in a radiant warmer to give added warming in challenging cases. Prevention of hypothermia in neonates is very important in order to allow optimum development of the baby. In many infants thermoregulation is impaired in the early days of life and early active warming can prevent problems arising later.
