More than just convenient. It’s clinically proven.

  • Improves clinical outcomes by at least 15%1

    Accessorize the Giraffe Shuttle and Giraffe beds or Panda Warmers with the tools you need to give you even more control—and improve clinical outcomes like body temperature, growth velocity, ventilator use, chronic lung disease, weight stabilization, and more.

  • Reduces infant stress

    The Giraffe Shuttle, in tandem with the Giraffe beds or Panda Warmer, eliminates bed-to-bed transitions. And fewer transitions mean less stress on the baby—because it helps them maintain more stable thermoregulation and psychological stability.

  • Reduces transport risk factors

    Using the Giraffe Shuttle with the Giraffe Omnibed resulted in an average temperature of 0.49ºC higher than infants transported with conventional transport incubators. 1

  • Power Is on standby. Always.

    Breathe easier knowing you’ve got power on the go with the Giraffe Shuttle. A convenient accessory for Giraffe beds or Panda Warmers, it gives you auxiliary power that lasts for up to 45 minutes. This lets you keep newborns warm, happy and undisturbed during transport throughout the hospital.

Safer transport means a better bottom line.

Because traditional intra-hospital transport methods may be costing more than you think.
  • Bed transfers contribute to lower admission temperatures2,3
  • Lower admission temperatures contribute to higher infection rates4
  • Infection treatment leads to higher cost5
