JOEYBAND™

Where Love Meets Science

Smart Design

The Joeyband™ is the leading skin-to-skin device used in all neonatal care settings: labour and delivery, the operating room, the NICU, and at home. The Joeyband™ secures the baby to the mother on the operating table after birth keeping them together through repair, transport, and recovery. Making it possible to provide skin-to-skin contact in the OR after a C-Section. Its simple yet secure design helps prevents slipping and extubation in the NICU, and allows for quick and safe emergency access to the baby since, unlike other bands, Joeyband™ does not have hooks, buttons, or zippers.

One Size fits Most

The Joeyband™ Pro simplifies newborn care in diverse settings, including the OR table, NICU, L&D, and Postpartum.

With its universal design, the Joeyband™ PRO can be used by a wide range of patients, caregivers, and newborns, including singletons, twins, and triplets. The Joeyband™ PRO has a wide range of adjustability and is also offered in a bariatric size.

Joeyband™ Pro provides a secure fit for premature and full-term babies and for patients and caregivers with mobility constraint promoting universal accessibility. This solution streamlines clinical staff workflow in the OR, NICU, L&D, and Postpartum care.

Proper Positioning

The Joeyband™ Pro allows for safe skin-to-skin contact, securely wrapping the baby in soft fabric close to its caregiver. During skin-to-skin care, the design places the newborn in an upright position, reducing strain on the neck, back, and shoulders of the caregiver while providing easy access to the baby for healthcare staff.

⚠️ The Joeyband™ Pro is not a carrier, and is not for co-sleeping.

Economic Benefits of Skin-to-Skin

Increased Patient Satisfaction

A study at a Connecticut Hospital showed a 26% increase in patient satisfaction.

Earlier Discharge

Patients who engage in skin-to-skin care (SSC) are often discharged up to 2.4 days earlier, potentially saving over $13,000 per patient. The Joeyband™ can help to increase SSC time.

Supporting Safety

The Joeyband™ can help support proper skin-to-skin positioning, thereby potentially mitigating legal costs. Settlement payouts in such cases can exceed $40 million.

Improves Staff Conditions

According to a 2021 California Hospital study, 93% of nurses reported elimination of shoulder, neck, and wrist pain, which was previously associated with holding babies in place on the OR table.

Reduced Need for Milk

With enhanced breastfeeding success through SSC, the need for donor milk, which ranges in cost from $27 to $590 per infant, may decrease.

Lower NICU and Care Costs

Implementing the Joeyband™ can help reduce NICU admissions and care costs stemming from infant falls.
