A Safe Start to Life

Caring for a newborn in critical condition means looking at every detail: every breath, every heartbeat, every degree of warmth. 

Discover the real story from the NICU. 

Your Specialist in Neonatal Care - SafeStart-EN-Main-16-9-D-1-2026

To deliver truly neonatal care, we needed more than equipment; we needed a solution built for a Safe Start to Life. From screening to therapy: an easy, effective, hygienic workflow.

SafeStart Thermoregulation D-19364-2025

Thermoregulation

In Neonatal Intensive Care, thermoregulation is not a feature, it is stability. 

For premature newborns and complex cases, every degree of warmth supports safer care.

“We chose Babyleo because it gives us exceptional thermal control and the flexibility we need in the NICU. We can intervene quickly without disrupting a stable environment, while parents can stay close without affecting treatment.”

SafeStart Ventilation D-19362-2025

Ventilation

In neonatal care, stability means everything. When every breath counts, ventilation must be precise, gentle, and easy to adapt,  without interrupting care.

“The most important clinical benefit is that we can adapt ventilation very precisely to each newborn’s needs, including extremely vulnerable premature babies. We can move easily between oxygen therapy, non-invasive and invasive ventilation, without interruptions or clinical instability."

SafeStart jaundice D-19378-2025

Phototherapy

Neonatal jaundice care goes far beyond just a blue light. Effectiveness depends on intensity, uniformity, and control.

“Many people think that once the light is on, phototherapy does its job. In reality, intensity and uniform distribution matter a lot; if the light doesn’t reach the exposed surface consistently, treatment becomes less effective and can take longer. With the Bililux lamp, we can easily adjust the distance and angle, and control irradiance using a radiometer. "

Continually evolving care for newborns

Our neonatal care technology enables you as caregivers to deliver life-sustaining, non-invasive, developmental care to neonates in a nurturing and supportive environment. Our goal is to help you improve patient outcomes during the newborn’s golden hour, transport flow and NICU stay, while supporting you and the baby’s parents with training material and educational resources. As Your Specialist in Acute Care, we continue developing outstanding technology and delivering innovative design that is focused on your newborns – helping to ease workflows, improve therapy and support developmental care and infection prevention practices.

Developmental care in the NICU

NICUs can be tough environments – for babies, parents and caregivers. Pro-developmental and family-centred care concepts help to remove the factors that cause stress. Learn about how this promotes neural and physiological growth in premature babies – and also helps caregivers feel less stress, so the focus can stay on delivering the best possible care to the newborns.

Thermoregulation in the NICU

Careful heat management of newborns is an important topic for every NICU. Although thermoregulation is now known to have an impact on patient outcome, it is still an area for further education. Here’s an in-depth look at why it’s important to keep NICU babies within the optimal ‘thermo-neutral’ range to provide the best conditions for growth and maturity.

Newborn jaundice treatment

Newborn jaundice treatment – from screening to phototherapy – has changed considerably over the past several years. Read about when and how to screen for it and the types of gentle and effective treatment that are available for neonates today. Also, get some useful take-away information to help families of jaundiced newborns through a time of anxiety and uncertainties.

Neonatal ventilation and lung protection

Neonatal ventilation is an important part of the care you deliver in the NICU – but ventilation of preemies and neonates remains a substantial challenge for even the most experienced caregiver. Read about neonatal ventilation strategies and gain a deeper understanding on how to avoid damage to the immature respiratory systems and brains of premature babies.

NICU lighting

When it comes to premature babies, light is a very complex matter. We need to avoid too much exposure and brightness and yet understand how the right amount of light at the right times can have a positive influence on development. Here, we discuss how creating a supportive light environment in the NICU, with the right care and the right technology, can truly benefit your littlest patients.

Noise in the NICU

For babies in the NICU, noise presents a complex issue. Loud noises can be especially harmful to premature babies, sometimes causing hearing damage and developmental delays down the road. However, newborns respond extremely well to beneficial and comforting sounds. Here, we look at good versus bad noises and how to create a nurturing NICU noise environment.
