DandleLION Medica - DANDY PRONE PAD™

In hospitalized infants, prone positioning is an appropriate intervention to promote physiologic stability, musculoskeletal and neurological development. Benefits of prone positioning include: 

  • Improved respiratory status
  • Reduced incidence of gastroesophageal reflux
  • Reduced stress
  • Improved digestion
  • Improved bone density resulting from upper- and lower-extremity weight bearing
  • Improved duration and quality of sleep

The Dandy Prone Pad facilitates developmentally supportive prone positioning that closely mirrors the fetal flexed posture. With its hourglass shape and unique lower extremity supports (goalposts), the Prone Pad encourages the extremities into midline flexion and guides the knees and hips into proper alignment. With 5 sizes that fit easily into DandleLION positioning aids, it’s easy to find the right sized support for every patient. 

DandleLION Medica - SNUGGLY ROO™

The Snuggly ROO is ideal for use in the days following a preterm birth, after surgery or any time more visualization of the umbilical or chest area is needed. The padded footroll keeps the lower extremities flexed and contained, while the offset straps help keep hands to face, shoulders rounded, and arms in flexion.

DandleLION Medica - DANDLE ROO2™

The circumferential support of the Dandle ROO2 contains preterm infants in a womb-like, flexed, midline position while providing proprioceptive feedback and allowing free movement and recoil. This robust positioning aid supports babies in a manner that decreases stress and agitation and promotes sleep, the formation of healthy neuronal pathways, and the proper development of the musculoskeletal and motor systems.
