ABOUT

MediCradle

MediCradle is an infant incubator that has been designed to work in the challenging conditions of developing countries.

The need

Medical facilities in developing countries often have very limited access to medical equipment. What equipment they have may be in poor condition, and may eventually become unusable because replacement parts and repair technicians simply aren’t available.

An alternative

The MediCradle infant incubator has been designed to answer this need. It is very low cost, incredibly durable, automatically adapts to various forms of electrical power, filters its own air, is easily repairable, and conforms to all applicable international IEC standards.

The goal

Our goal is to deliver a MediCradle to every medical facility that could benefit from such a life-saving device. Even if we only deliver one hundred operational MediCradles to facilities in need, the most conservative estimate is that 5,000 infants could be saved each year, or 50,000 infants saved in the first ten years of use.
