Made of memory foam for comfortable support. Urethane cover is wipeable and reusable. Soft outer knit covering can be machine washed.
Prone positioning encourages the development of flexor tone, allows active neck extension and head raising, and offers an alternative to other positions to reduce skull flattening.
Using Prone Plus allows the infant's legs to remain tucked with pelvis tilted forward, and promotes flexion of the extremities without placing excessive pressure on knees and elbows.
About Prone Plus
Designed for Support
The contoured edges of the Prone Plus positioning aid encourage the development of flexor tone to help activate neck extension and head raising to prevent skull flattening. Its shape also allows infants to keep their legs tucked with their pelvis tilted forward to promote flexion of the extremities while avoiding excess pressure on their knees and elbows.
Adjustable and Versatile
The Prone Plus is adjustable to accommodate the diverse needs of all infants in the NICU. Clinicians can tailor the positioning to keep each child comfortable, safe, and supported. In addition to its versatility, the Prone Plus is also made of memory foam, so it works with the natural shape of their bodies to keep them in a secure and balanced flexed position.
Provides Emotional Comfort for Infants
The snug and secure outer knit surface of the Prone Plus mimics the close confines of the womb, providing a comforting sensation to infants. This can lead to reduced stress levels and improved overall well-being.
