HAT THERMAL PREEMIE W/LINED PLASTIC VAPOR BARRIER

Dandle*LION Preemie Thermal Hat with Plastic Vapor Barrier. The Dandle*LION Thermal Hat keeps heat from escaping with a quiet. Polyethylene Liner (DEHP and latex free) encased between two layers of soft yarn so it never touches the baby. The plastic is stitched securely at the top with overlapping side panels that adjust to the size of the baby's head without compromising the thermal barrier. Hypothermia is a serious problem for low birth weight infants, newborns, and infants undergoing surgical procedures in an uncontrolled thermal environment. The surface area of the head is about 20% of the total body surface of a newborn infant and is a major source of heat loss. New standards for very premature infants recommend aggressive measures for thermal regulation and humidity immediately following birth. UOM: 50/CS.
