Newborn babies, especially those born premature, are preferably maintained in a supine position. In this position, a baby’s airways are far less likely to be obstructed. Until the development of Cinis Preemie Halo™, there were no support devices available that would stabilize an infants head.

Cinis Preemie Halo™, a suitable support device for newborns including premature infants, comprises a doughnut-shaped structure of about 5 to 6 inches outer diameter with a central aperture of about two inches. The tube is “D” shaped in cross-section at the rear, or head region and smaller at the neck section.

The current prototype is constructed of a custom compound material that has remarkable flesh-like characteristics and is a USP Class VI material. All components of the material are FDA exempt.
