A CONTINUOUS CARE WORKFLOW
For care in and outside the incubator
WORKFLOW
Controlling every movement
CareFold® supports a continuous care workflow — from daily handling inside the incubator to care activities outside — helping NICU teams reduce time spent on line-management and work consistently across shifts and settings.
Supports care activities such as:
Transfers to weighing, scans, and clinical examinations
Transfers to treatments and procedures, including operations
Handling during parent interactions, including skin-to-skin care and breastfeeding
Transfers between internal and external departments
Supports daily care activities such as:
Bedding and nesting
Secure positioning and line organization
Diaper changes and hygiene
Clinical examinations and sampling
Preparation for transfers
INSIDE THE INCUBATOR
Daily Care with Minimal Disruption
CareFold® supports routine care activities inside the incubator by helping maintain line-control and positioning during patient handling and adjustments. This allows staff to perform daily tasks with minimal effort and disruption.
By using a consistent system, CareFold® helps simplify and standardize workflows, supporting smoother shift handovers and consistent care across staff.
OUTSIDE THE INCUBATOR
Care Continuity During Transfers and Handling
CareFold® is designed for use during care activities outside the incubator, supporting continuity when the infant needs to be moved. Using the same mattress-carrier helps maintain positioning and organization of tubes and wires across care settings.
By using one consistent solution inside and outside the incubator, CareFold® supports smoother transitions and more standardized workflows during neonatal care.

IMPLEMENTATION RESOURCES
Quick guide to support practical implementation
We provide practical resources to support team onboarding and integrate CareFold® smoothly into daily routines.
“We used CareFold in connection with the INSURE method*, and the infant was well supported with the sides raised. After the procedure, it was gentle to lift the infant directly over to the mother’s bed by a single nurse while continuing CPAP treatment. The infant was GA 33 and only a few hours old, so the mother was bedridden and unable to lift the infant herself.“

“A boy was placed on CareFold prior to transfer from one incubator to another by a single nurse. It worked very well - he did not notice that he was being moved. After the move, an X-ray was taken inside the incubator while he was lying on CareFold, which was much more gentle for him. This was carried out in accordance to a prior agreement with the physician. The X-ray images were used to verify the placement of the tube and long line and were satisfactory.”

“An intubated infant born at GA 25 was been transferred on CareFold multiple times. The transfers worked well and safely, with secure fixation of the tubes. The infant was well swaddled and therefore did not react to the transfer itself. It works well. The parents were able to spend calm moments smelling and kissing their baby after the infant was placed on the mother’s chest (Skin-to-Skin).”
