Warmers
Hand warmers are small (mostly disposable) packets which are held in the hand and produce heat on demand to warm cold hands. They are commonly used in outdoor activities. Other types of warmers are available to provide soothing heat for muscular or joint aches.
Some people, usually children, have very sensitive skin and should not let hand warmers come into direct contact with their skin.
Bilirubin meter
The device works by directing white light into the skin of the newborn and measuring the intensity of the specific wavelengths that are returned. By knowing the spectral properties of the components within the skin, one can subtract out the interfering components and determine the concentration of bilirubin.
Bilirubin testing is done using a blood sample. Usually, the blood is drawn through a small needle inserted into a vein in the bend of your arm. A small tube is attached to the needle to collect the blood.
Fetal Monitor
Fetal monitors are bedside units that consist of a monitoring unit, cables, and electrodes. They are designed to measure, record, and display FHR, uterine contractions, and/or maternal blood pressure and heart rate before and during childbirth.
These monitors may sense FHR and uterine contraction indirectly through the mother’s abdomen and/or directly by placing an electrode on the fetal scalp (or other exposed skin surface) and measuring the change in pressure within the uterus. Antepartum fetal monitors are typically used in physician’s offi ces and clinics long before the beginning of labor. Most hospital-based monitors have additional capabilities, including fetal and maternal ECG recording
Phototherapy
Phototherapy is a medical treatment in which natural or artificial light is used to improve a health condition. Treatment could involve fluorescent light bulbs, halogen lights, sunlight, or light emitting diodes (LEDs).
Phototherapy is also known as light therapy and heliotherapy. Which type of therapy you need and how the light is used can vary depending on the health condition.
Incubator
Incubator, in microbiology, is an insulated and enclosed device that provides an optimal condition of temperature, humidity, and other environmental conditions required for the growth of organisms.
An incubator is a piece of vital laboratory equipment necessary for the cultivation of microorganisms under artificial conditions.
An incubator can be used for the cultivation of both unicellular and multicellular organisms.
