Ducky Mitts are the preferred choice for neonatal clinicians who need to balance infant safety with comfort. The unique "ducky" shape provides enough interior space for natural hand movement while completely eliminating the infant's ability to grasp or pinch medical equipment.
Key Features for Neonatal Care:
-
Prevents Accidental Pulling: Effectively discourages infants from grasping and pulling at vital medical devices, such as orogastric (OG) tubes, nasogastric (NG) tubes, and IV lines.
-
Stop Self-Scratching: Provides a soft barrier that prevents newborns from scratching their faces or bodies, which is especially important for infants with sensitive skin or dermatological conditions.
-
Ergonomic "Ducky" Shape: The wide, flapped design allows for natural finger extension and movement inside the mitt, supporting healthy motor development without compromising safety.
-
Ultra-Soft, Breathable Fabric: Made from lightweight, medical-grade materials that ensure air circulation, preventing moisture buildup and keeping delicate hands dry and comfortable.
-
Secure Fit: Features a gentle yet secure wrist closure system that keeps the mitts in place on active infants while ensuring they are not too tight on fragile wrists.
-
Adorable & Non-Threatening: The friendly duck design provides a less "clinical" appearance, which can be comforting for parents in the NICU or nursery setting.
