The Giraffe family: shared features for healthy
newborn development
The following features were designed to be intuitive and are the same on
all Giraffe beds – providing continuity across the product platform which
makes it easier for the user to learn and use multiple products and reduces
staff training time.
The patented Baby Susan rotating mattress minimizes unnecessary baby
stimulation. It rotates 360° and can slide out of the microenvironment to
facilitate proper positioning for all types of procedures without disturbing
the infant and promote parental bonding.
Layered, pressure-diffusing mattress provides a softer support surface
to help relieve pressure points and preserve skin integrity.
Large, drop down, removable doors and centralized control screen
placement provide quick and easy patient access from either side
of the bed.
Elevating base offers a broad adjustable range to ensure a comfortable
working height for procedures or family interaction.
Integrated scale allows quick and accurate assessment and trending
of baby’s growth and development.
Thermal and weight data trending helps facilitate clinical decision-making.
The Giraffe Shuttle
Our latest addition to the family –
it provides electrical power to any of
the Giraffe beds or Panda
1 warmer,
enabling them to be used for intra-
hospital transport.
2 The Giraffe Shuttle
combined with the bed helps reduce
the potential for clinical problems that
can result from interrupted patient
thermoregulation, patient touch,
handling and movement – all of
which may challenge physiological
stability when moving babies to
and from a transport incubator.
