Description

DESCRIPTION

TRANSITION CAPSULE FOR NEONATES

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The stated invention falls within the sector of the apparatus or appliances whose purpose is to house babies lying down.

Specifying more specifically the sector to which it is addressed, the stated invention falls within the sector of the apparatus or equipment used to house newborns in their first days of life.

STATE OF THE ART

There is evidence of different devices or items which are intended to house newborns in their first days and months of life.

Such devices are known by the common name of "cradle", a name used from now on in the present memory, and whose purpose is to provide rest and adaptation to the new way of life in which they are found after birth.

Specifying more the state of the art, there are more specific cribs and designed for this purpose in the places where births occur, hospitals, these being composed of a transparent structure and inside which comfort elements such as mattresses and sheets are arranged .

Other types of devices used in hospitals and which house neonates are incubators, devices which are used for preventive and / or palliative purposes so that neonates, who were born prematurely, with any malformation or disease , can be stabilized and / or treated in their first days of life.

As of the date of this report, no invention is known which contains the object characteristics and specific techniques that make up the stated invention.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

As stated in the state of the art, and more specifically with regard to the cribs present in hospital nests, as well as the incubators themselves, they are intended for a temporary shelter.

The rest of the crib models existing in the state of the art are intended for the newborn to rest in domestic environments.

It is very important that the newborn has a transition from the mother's uterus to the new life environment as less drastic and traumatic as possible, and the mentioned devices or appliances existing today do not fully meet this requirement.

The invention that is advocated here is intended to provide a device which makes a less drastic and traumatic transition of the newborn, giving it, after its birth, the environment that surrounded it when it was inside the mother's uterus by means of a simulation of said indoor environment in the first days of life.

It contributes to the function for which it is intended, advantages and characteristics that will be described in detail later and that represent a novelty in the state of the art.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The transition capsule for neonates, in a similarity to the mother's uterus, is made up of a practicable oval-shaped structure, similar to that of an egg, with the purpose of providing a structural accommodation similar to that of the mother's uterus.

It also has a movable base in order to be able to be moved without causing sudden movements. For this purpose, a series of handles or slits are provided. It also includes an articulated structure that joins the base so that the artificial uterus can adopt different angles of inclination similar to the mother's postures if necessary.

This practicable structure is made up of two well-differentiated elements: a housing for the newborn and a protective cover.

In order to transmit a warmth and warmth similar to the enveloping walls of the mother's uterus, and which also encourage the newborn to maintain a transient fetal position, the housing for the latter has a wraparound arrangement made of a material with textures similar to the interior of the mother's uterus, and whose interior structural composition in turn does not allow suffocation of the newborn.

By means of a control panel present housed outside the artificial uterus, and the necessary internal mechanical and electronic components, the necessary internal functions are arranged to simulate a temperature similar to that of the interior of the mother's uterus, an emission of sounds similar to of a heart and the mother's breathing, supply oxygen to the interior if necessary, and govern the tilted position of the artificial uterus. It can also generate vibration or a slight rocking motion.

The cover is folded, displaced or detached depending on the needs and circumstances of use of the invention. It can be totally or partially opaque with ventilation openings so that the newborn cannot be altered as a consequence of the incoming light, and in turn allows him to breathe.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

In order not to pretend to limit said invention in its variety of embodiment, which will depend on the final design of the invention, an embodiment option is illustrated below.

Figure 1 Represents a perspective view of the invention.

DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED FORM OF EMBODIMENT

With reference to the attached figures, taking into account the numbering reflected therein and in a preferred but not limited embodiment of the invention, the neonatal transition capsule comprises an oval structure formed by two parts: a receiving part (1) and a cover (2) practicable.

The receiving part (1) comprises inside a wrapping padding (3) made of materials with textures that imitate the organic, such as silicones, jellies, latex, etc. Said wrapping padding (3) has the particularity of maintaining internal structural separations in order not to block the face of the newborn.

The receiving part (1) also includes a set of electronic and mechanical components associated with an external control panel (4), both capable, by means of a manual or programmed way, of generating and maintaining a constant temperature, emitting and regulating sounds such as heartbeats. heart and breathing, in addition to providing oxygen, vibrate or generate slight rocking movements.

The receiving part (1) is found, joined by a joint (7) to a base (5) with displacement means (6) and brake (6 '), also having grip elements or cavities (8).

The cover (2) is arranged in the oval structure in a folding, movable or removable form. It contemplates the possibility of being totally or partially opaque and has openings for ventilation (9).

Claims (5)

1. Transition capsule for neonates, with an oval structure in imitation of a mother's uterus, characterized in that it comprises; - a receiving part (1) attached to a movable base (6) and inside which there is a wrapping padding (3) made of materials such as silicones, jellies, latex, etc., and a set of electronic and mechanical components associated with a control panel (4), - and a practicable cover (2) with ventilation openings (9). 2. Transition capsule for neonates according to claim 1, characterized in that the union of the receiving part (1) with the movable base (5) is carried out by means of a joint (7) so that the artificial uterus can adopt different angles of inclination. 3. Transition capsule for neonates according to claim 1, characterized in that the enveloping padding (3) maintains internal structural separations in order not to envelop the newborn's face. 4. Transition capsule for neonates according to claim 1, characterized in that the cover (2) is arranged in a folding, displaceable or removable form, also considering the possibility of being totally or partially opaque. 5. Transition capsule for neonates according to claims 1 and 2, characterized in that the base (5) has displacement means (6) and brake (6 ').
