This device is indicated to be used while the infant is receiving CPAP support in order to reduce CBS. The NBB is made of a medical-grade blend of fabric and foam that is latex and neoprene-free and is reported as safe to use on premature infant skin. There are two sizes available and the outer fabric is attached with adjustable Velcro. It is a single baby use and may be hand washed and reused.
