An isolation incubator for infants includes a part-cylindrical shaped transparent hood (44) which provides accessibility to the infant. The part-cylindrically-shaped hood (44) consists of a plurality of sections (56, 58) rotatable about a central axis (48). The sections may be individually opened to give limited access to the infant or totally rotated to a position beneath the infant support (34) such that access may be had from all sides of the incubator without obstruction. Heating of the incubator compartment (36) is achieved by circulating heated air through a double wall construction of the hood 44. The air is heated in a compartment beneath the infant and the warm air enters one of the hold sections (58) and circulates through that section (56) whereupon it is transferred serially to the next section and eventually can be received back into the heater compartment from the hood sections for recirculation. A fan and heater are located in the heater compartment for heating and circulating the air. The double wall hood (44) is readily disassembled and one of the walls removable to facilitate cleaning of all wall surfaces. |
