Evaluating thermoregulation capabilities of newborn hybrid incubators based on technology, testing and track record.

This white paper contains several substantial claims and additional information on the clinical research:

Giraffe OmniBed provides thermal and physiological stability across bed states³, Improvements of at least 15% in clinical outcomes (such as body temperature⁴, growth velocity, weight stabilization) and offers 0.49 degrees higher temperature during intrahospital transport (Giraffe OmniBed without power)⁵
