Baby Incubators: What They Are & How They Work

An incubator is a medical device that provides a controlled environment for premature or critically ill infants.

* It is a specialised warm bed that provides the necessary conditions for the baby to grow and develop.

* Incubators are used to maintain a constant temperature and humidity level, as well as to provide oxygen and respiratory support.

* Incubators also help to protect infants from infection and other environmental hazards.
