This incubator is designed specifically for surgical cases, but can be used equally effectively with non-surgical babies. This would enable the hospital to transport and operate on a baby without the baby having to be moved off their incubator. This is a great advantage as one of the times when a baby is most vulnerable is during transport and transfer from one incubator to another. Currently, a baby would have to be transferred from its incubator to a transport incubator, moved to theatre, transferred to the operating table, operated on, transferred back to the transport incubator then transferred back into its original incubator on return to the unit. With an omnibed, all the transfers between incubators etc are eliminated.
