Nutri-Lok Equipment Ensure Faultless Connections
The birth of a baby is almost always an occasion of joy. Sadly, the new born infant may not be fit enough to face life the instant it is delivered from the mother’s womb. A certain amount of hypothermia or a lowering of temperature is usually observed in a premature baby who needs to be placed within an incubator in order to gain the necessary strength outside the womb. The instances of employing NEO wrap for effective occlusion is also likely to do the trick particularly when the infant is not compromised in any other way.
The said wrap is recommended by most doctors who happen to be concerned about the inordinately low birth weight in premature babies born before 28 weeks. The wrap that is made out of polythene can be beneficial in arresting the loss of heat from the tiny body due to evaporation and other external factors. The advantages are definitely too great to overlook the usability of this equipment.
How Occlusive wraps work for premature infants
It helps to stabilize the body temperature of the baby until it can be moved into a dedicated care facility
The best wraps need to be ISO 10993-1 compliant and manufactured out of transparent biomedical plastic of a superior grade.
There is absolutely no possibility of accidental damage to the thin wraps as they come in individual packs.
This helps in limiting it to a single use in order to minimize the risks of contamination and infecting the tiny baby in the process.
It is considered to be one of the most secure means of ensuring a slow but gradual stabilization of the body temperature of a premature infant
It is imperative to opt for a locking and ENFit compliant connector to facilitate enteral feeding in a newborn child. Medical professionals working at every medical facility and clinics across the country are expected to avoid instances of mis-connections of tubing in the future in order to minimize the glaring errors that often lead to fatal consequences. It is certainly no wonder that a number of medical facilities as well as medical equipment manufacturers choose to use the Nutri-Lok group of connectors and syringes so that all kind of inadvertent faulty connections can be avoided once and for all.
Utility of Nutri-Lok connectors
This type of connector will not fit with a female luer IV line thereby keeping the diverse tubings strictly separated
A proper connection is stable and 100% secure. There is no possibility of accidental slipping out from either end thus jeopardizing the feeding process
While the connector may or may not be compatible with other feeding tubes it will only lock with ‘Nutri-Cath’
There is no added DEHP found in the material of the connector to aid its flexibility
The connectors are fully suitable for continuous feeding as well. The clinical professionals use the ‘Y-Connection Extension Set’ for administering fluids along with medications without having to disconnect the feeding tube from the pump.
