System for washing and treating newborn infants

A system for washing and treating infants, comprising:

• a medical equipment for keeping an infant under controlled sterile and warm conditions;
• a device for washing the infant, comprising a support frame and a flexible laminar element adapted to be secured thereto, said frame and said laminar element defining a housing for receiving the infant while he/she is being washed and/or treated;
• wherein said flexible sheet member comprises a disposable cloth made of medical grade sterilizable non-woven fabric designed to be coupled to said frame and having dimensions to receive infants of various sizes,
• wherein said housing is adapted to be introduced into said medical equipment and is accessible from outside said medical equipment,
• wherein said frame comprises a single-unit or unitary structure of tubular members made of a medical-grade sterilizable metal or non-metal material,
• wherein said frame has a substantially rectangular plan shape defined by a pair of longitudinal tubular members each joined to a pair of raised transverse tubular members via respective substantially vertical posts,
• wherein said transverse tubular members have slightly outwardly projecting ends and said cloth has a substantially rectangular shape with larger plan dimensions than said frame and with a peripheral rim folded back onto said frame and attached to said slightly outwardly projecting ends for stretching and forming said housing without use of clips, in such a manner that at the end of each washing operation, an operator may easily remove said cloth from said frame by detaching said rim from said slightly outwardly projecting ends.
