A lamination of non-stretch, loop fabric and neoprene, used around the rim of a neonatal CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) cap and also for other products in neonatal CPAP therapy such as chin and anchor straps and eye protectors. It decreases the risks of pressure injury like skin pressure areas, burns, nasal septal damage and deformation of the preterm head ("Prem Head"). It helps prevent loss of CPAP air pressure ("pop off"), as well as decreasing retinal damage of the eyes, and inaccurate oxygen saturation readings leading to poor oxygen management in neonates. It also contributes to developmental care of the neonate by limiting damaging loud noises and bright lights, which have detrimental neurological consequences for neonatal development. |
