Abstract
A neonatal retention or support system including a horizontal base configured for at least one of attachment to or placement on a mattress of a bed, and a wall attached to and extending vertically from and at least partially around the base, the wall comprising at least one pair of hinges to allow the retention system to follow an adjustment of the bed. The wall is flexible inwards to allow a person to lie on the bed, and inflexible outwards so that an infant disposed within the retention system is prevented from falling from the bed.

A neonatal retention system comprising:
- a horizontal base configured for at least one of attachment to or placement on or placement under a mattress of a bed;
- a wall attached to and extending vertically from and at least partially around the base, the wall comprising a substantially flexible material and at least one pair of hinges to allow the retention system to follow an adjustment of the bed, the wall further comprising a locking mechanism,
- wherein the substantially flexible material allows the wall to flex inwards to allow a person to enter into and lie on the bed, and wherein the wall is prevented from flexing outwards by the locking mechanism so that an infant disposed within the retention system is prevented from falling from the bed.
