Double layer of polyethylene
• Limits heat loss by convection and evaporation
• Allows good skin contact due to the thin inner layer
• Allows passage of radiant heat from the warmer (2)
• Transparent and silent material that enables the visualisation of the skin color and the baby’s breathing movement
• Non-toxic and biocompatible material (ISO 10993-1)
