Body

Cavitron Corporation's infant radiant warmer is widely used for routine post-operative care and post operative recovery, cradle warmer is a canopy atop infants bassinet. Canopy is composed of laminated layers of transparent plastic which encase a thin film of gold called Intrex. This coating, adapted from NASA's Apollo program, is electrically conductive; when energized, the canopy emits low energy radiant heat over the infant's entire body. Skin sensor allows temperature control adjusted precisely to each baby's individual needs.
