Collection: Skin to Skin Reduces the Risk of Neonatal Hypothermia

A 2017–2020 study found that 72% of newborns arrived at the receiving facility hypothermic following EMS transport. Neonatal hypothermia is a significant risk factor for newborn morbidity and mortality.

The Aegis® Neonatal Restraint System supports zero-separation, skin-to-skin care during transport—keeping mother and baby together while supporting the newborn’s natural thermoregulation. Skin-to-skin care has been clinically shown to support temperature stability and reduce the risk of neonatal hypothermia and cold stress.

Aegis is simple by design: non-battery, non-electrical, and non-pharmacological—providing a ready-to-use solution when every degree matters.
