MiraCradle® is a perfect fit as Rodnight develops neonatal presence in the markets
The Rodnight Partnership from the United Kingdom has tied up with with Gurugram-based Pluss Advanced Technologies Limited (PLUSS) to enhance availability of ‘MiraCradle’, a unique neonatal cooling device in the Middle East, Africa and South East Asia markets.
MiraCradle® is the world’s first non-electronic, portable device based on Phase Change Materials (PCMs), developed in partnership with Christian Medical College, Vellore. The MiraCradle® neonatal cooler is an affordable passive cooling device that uses advanced PCM technology to induce therapeutic hypothermia among newborns suffering from birth asphyxia.
MiraCradle® can bring the much-needed hypothermic therapy to neonates through affordable passive cooling at a fraction of the price as compared to alternate active cooling methods.
