About Infant Positioning Aids
Infant positioning aids for preterm infants are specialized devices designed to provide support and promote appropriate positioning for premature babies during their time in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). These aids are designed to help preterm infants maintain a safe and comfortable supine position, which can aid in their development, improve neuromuscular development, and reduce the risk of complications such as apnea and reflux. They also include options for side lying and prone positioning, which further support optimal developmental outcomes.
Developmental positioning aids from International Biomedical are an effective way to keep infants in the same position in a variety of situations, from feeding and routine care to sleeping and medical procedures. Proper positioning can have a positive impact on a developing infant, helping to improve oxygenation, support growth alignment, and facilitate overall well-being.

Gel-E Donuts
An exceptionally soft skin combined with a unique shape and gel formulation make Gel-E Donuts soft, yet supportive. These donuts help reduce pressure on an infant’s head and body while promoting free movement. The round shape of the Gel-E Donuts prevents the gel from getting stuck in a corner and is especially beneficial for preventing plagiocephaly by keeping the baby’s head off hard surfaces. Additionally, they provide proper cushioning to protect fragile preterm skin and help relieve pressure points. Caregivers can manipulate the gel to reposition the baby or address pressure points without having to lift or handle the infant, mimicking the gentle support of amniotic fluid.

Squishon Gel Pillows
Soft, pliable cushions that support and cradle a baby’s head, body, or limbs, the Squishon Gel Pillows are ideal for preventing flat head syndrome and supporting muscle tone. These versatile cushions are designed to protect an infant’s bony prominences by keeping them off hard surfaces, much like the protective support offered by amniotic fluid. The Squishon Gel Pillows can be used in conjunction with the Gel-E Donut to support the body of the infant, ensuring safe, comfortable, and developmental positioning in various situations.

Squishon Gel Mattress
The soft surface of a Squishon Mattress absorbs vibration, especially during transport, while promoting neuromuscular development and enhancing routine care. It offers the perfect solution for reducing stress on a developing infant during critical transitions. Additionally, it protects their skin from breakdown by providing a soft surface—similar to the intrauterine environment—helping maintain skin integrity

SnuggleUp
The SnuggleUp is a soft, cozy nest that provides proper positioning and physiological stability for preterm and ill babies. Its design supports flexed arms and legs, helping to facilitate containment and comfort while preventing unnecessary pressure on sensitive areas. The SnuggleUp also helps to maintain the midline, flexed position that is necessary for effective neurodevelopment.

Better Bendy Bumper
The Bendy Bumper can be molded into the desired shape to promote containment and provide a reflex stimulus for limb extension and flexion. Its flexible design allows caregivers to adapt positioning to meet the specific needs of each infant, supporting side lying and enhancing overall muscle tone. The Bendy Bumper also helps to create the 360-degree containment mimicking the uterine wall, providing a comforting, supportive environment for preterm and ill babies.

Prone Plus
Prone Plus helps support newborns in the proper prone position with a comfortable, hourglass-shaped pad. This positioning aid provides ventral support, promotes growth alignment, enhances neuromuscular development, and minimizes pressure on the knees and elbows, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for the infant.

Frederick T. Frog
Versatile, frog-shaped beanbags designed by a NICU nurse to help achieve clinicians’ goals for developmentally supportive positioning. Frederick T. Frog helps maintain a midline position when the baby is in a supine position, supporting free movement and enhancing overall comfort and development. Its soft structure positively impacts the infant’s comfort and positioning during critical developmental stages.
