Additional Information for Infant Heel Warmer
Infant heel warmers are medical devices used to provide warmth and comfort to the heels of newborn babies during medical procedures, such as blood tests or intravenous (IV) insertions. They are typically made of soft, non-toxic materials and are designed to fit securely around the baby's heel.
The purpose of using infant heel warmers is to increase blood flow to the heel area, which can help dilate the blood vessels and make it easier to obtain a blood sample or insert an IV line. By keeping the baby's heel warm, the device helps to minimize discomfort and reduce the risk of injury during these procedures.
Infant heel warmers are commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare settings where newborns may require medical interventions. They are part of the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" and belong to the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."
