Description
The BILI-BONNET Phototherapy Mask, crafted by Small Beginnings Inc., is an essential medical device designed specifically for infants undergoing phototherapy treatment. Its primary purpose is to provide effective eye protection, ensuring that the therapeutic light used to treat conditions such as jaundice does not affect the infant's eyes.
Key Features
- Patented Bonnet Design: This innovative design ensures the mask remains securely in place, allowing phototherapy light to penetrate the entire head while minimizing light exposure to the eyes.
- Compression Technology: The mask rests on the ocular face bones, relieving pressure from the eyes and enhancing comfort.
- Contoured, Reversible Fit: The mask conforms to the baby’s face for a snug fit and can be reversed for added convenience.
Attachment and Material
- No Tape or Adhesive: Utilizes low-profile, rounded hook and loop tabs for adjustable sizing, preventing skin damage and reducing slippage.
- Latex-Free Construction: Made from PE foam and brushed nylon, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions.
Comfort and Application
- Comfort-Oriented Design: The mask’s compressed ocular space stretches to fit the infant’s head shape, enhancing comfort.
- Easy Application: Designed for seamless application by healthcare staff, reducing stress for both the infant and caregivers.
Size Variations
Available in three sizes to accommodate different gestational ages:
- Ultra Preemie: For infants below 27 weeks gestational age.
- Preemie: For infants around 27–30 weeks gestational age.
- Newborn: For infants above 31 weeks gestational age.
Use and Maintenance
The mask is intended for single-patient use but can be reused on the same patient throughout the treatment duration. Proper cleaning involves pre-cleaning, manual cleaning, and disinfection using nationally authorized disinfectants. It is crucial to avoid liquid penetration and inspect the mask for any soiling or damage post-cleaning.
Additional Attributes
- Non-Critical Medical Device: Contacts only intact skin, ensuring safety.
- Made in the USA: Reflects high manufacturing standards and quality assurance.
The BILI-BONNET Phototherapy Mask stands out as a reliable and thoughtfully designed solution, enhancing the efficacy of phototherapy treatment while prioritizing infant comfort and safety.
