Incubator mattress tray with warming function

摘要

An incubator having a mattress tray (30) that underlies and supports an infant. The mattress tray is movable from a first position where it is entirely within the controlled atmosphere of the infant compartment (14) to a second position (as shown) outside that infant compartment (14) and when moved to the second position, a warm flow of air is provided to warm the infant. The second position of the mattress thereby allows considerable access to the infant to carry out procedures by attending personnel that would not be possible within the confined infant compartment and yet the infant is warmed by the flow of warm air.
