Abstract: The present invention provides devices and system useful for transporting infants, minimizing vibrations, noise, and associated with transport. Devices of the invention include a head gear assembly, one or more body support rolls for elevating portions of the infant's body, and a mattress system with a removable insert. The invention further provides methods of use associated with such devices, including methods of stabilizing a position of an infant, reducing shock or vibration to an infant during transportation, reducing shock, vibration, or noise exposure to an infant during transportation, reducing shock or vibration while providing elevation to specific portions of an infant during transportation, and reducing the risk of intraventricular hemorrhage and/or persistent pulmonary hypertension to an infant during transportation.

Abstract: A head positioning aid includes at least one head positioning assistor and at least one securing member. Some head positioning aids include positioning members secured to a headwear member. The positioning members maintain an infant's head in midline. An optional cheek flap protects the skin on the face. An optional support member supports the neck and an open airway. Size adjustment members may also be used to secure and orient tubing for a nasal cannula.

Abstract: A head immobilization aid includes immobilization members, a rear panel, at least one strap, and at least one flap. The immobilization members maintain a patient's head in a desired position. The strap secures the head immobilization aid to a patient's head and the flap secures the immobilization members in a desired position. The head immobilization aid may be used in conjunction with an attachment device to secure and orient tubing for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and nasal cannulas to the head immobilization aid.

Abstract: A head positioning aid (100) includes positioning members (102) secured to a headwear member (110). The positioning members maintain an infant's head in midline. At least one strap (120) on the headwear member secures the head positioning aid to an infant's head. Optional securing devices (200) secure and orient tubing (172, 174) for CPAP and nasal cannulas to the headwear member.
