About Frederick T. Frog
Optimal Positioning for Growth and Comfort
Frederick T. Frog is expertly designed to help maintain infants in an optimal, curled position that mimics the fetal posture. It encourages a sense of security and well-being, closely replicating the snug environment of the womb. The versatile shape helps clinicians achieve their goals for developmentally supportive positioning.
Acts as an Extra Set of Hands
By facilitating a semi-upright positioning, the Frederick T. Frog keeps neonates in position during procedures and assists with facilitated tucking. Due to the frog shape, clinicians can place the aid around the head, neck, hips, or an extremity for maximum support. Freddy’s arms can also be adjusted separately for all positioning needs.
Ease of Use for Clinicians
This innovative positioning aid was designed by a NICU nurse for NICU nurses. It’s easy to use, adjust, and clean to meet the needs of every infant. Both versions of the Frederick T. Frog Infant Positioning Aid are made with safe, durable, and easy-to-clean materials. The materials are gentle on an infant’s delicate skin, reducing the risk of irritation or discomfort.
Emotional Comfort for Families
The friendly and comforting appearance of Frederick T. Frog provides emotional support for infants in the hospital as well as their families. The adorable frog-like shape is a positive and calming presence in the NICU, helping to alleviate some of the anxiety and stress that families may feel when their newborn requires intensive care.
