Central Medical Supplies (CMS) has been chosen by Sandwell and Birmingham NHS Trust to supply neonatal equipment to its new neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The NICU is part of the recently opened Midland Metropolitan University Hospital in Smethwick.
Leanne Holland, Neonatal Account Manager at CMS, worked alongside the hospital’s Advanced Neonatal Nurse Practitioner and Occupational Therapist to source the best product solutions for babies’ needs inside the hospital NICU. Products purchased include the Kanmed Cot Tent, which will be used with the hospital’s standard cots to ensure the eyes of babies are protected from lights and other distractions. The Trust has also taken delivery of a Kanmed Twin BabyBed, Kanmed Baby Warmers and Weyer Thermocare Beds. CMS is the exclusive supplier of Kanmed and Weyer products in the UK.
Juliet Sweeney, Neonatal Occupational Therapist at the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital, says: “Having a new neonatal intensive care unit provided the opportunity to acquire the best equipment available for the babies in our care. We are committed to providing the best possible care and support for babies, their parents and parents-to-be in our new, modern, bright facilities.” Leanne Holland adds: “It’s been a privilege to work with the team to determine the best products to put in place at the new neonatal intensive care unit.”
The Kanmed BabyBed is the modern way to care for newborn and premature babies in medium and low intensive care situations. The Kanmed BabyBed features unique push down side walls, is simple to use and easy to clean. It is also the only bed of its kind, available in the UK, which comes with electrical height adjustment; enabling staff, parents and carers to adapt the bed’s height to meet their needs. The Kanmed Twin BabyBed has been designed to enable and support the increasingly popular routine practice of co-bedding twins in a spacious and safe environment.
The Kanmed Baby Warmer is clinically proven to help babies from 1000 grams maintain their core temperature and achieve normothermia. The Kanmed Baby Warmer can uniquely offer non-incubator support to neonates at much lower birth weights, with similar outcomes to incubator care. This makes the warmer a cost-effective solution for hospitals and enables more babies to be cared for, as they can be moved from a traditional incubator much quicker. The Kanmed Baby Warmer is available with a choice of interchangeable mattresses, which include water and gel.
Weyer Thermocare baby warming beds are ideal for babies requiring surveillance in an intermediate care unit. The modular design of the Thermocare beds enable them to be configured in many different ways, depending on the needs of the infant and how the unit is being used.
