Premature neonate closed life support system

A premature neonate closed life support system (NCLSS) comprising:

• at least one chamber confining a cradle-like neonate support (CLNS) having suitable dimensions and geometric-configuration for accommodating at least one premature neonate having at least two operational configurations, said operational configurations comprising:
• a first operational OPEN configuration whereby said CLNS is adapted to couple said neonate to at least one life supporting system by means of at least one life supporting coupling line, prior to positioning said CLNS in a medical device, and
• a second operational air-tight CLOSED configuration whereby said neonate remains continuously coupled to said at least one life supporting system by means of at least one life supporting coupling line, when positioning said CLNS within said medical device,
• wherein said OPEN and CLOSED configurations are reversible.

A method of transferring at least one premature neonate from an incubator to a medical device without disconnecting said neonate from at least one life supporting coupling line and at least one life supporting system, comprising

• providing a premature neonate closed life support system (NCLSS) with at least one chamber comprising a cradle-like neonate support (CLNS) and said CLNS comprises:
• suitable dimensions and geometric-configuration for accommodating said at least one premature neonate;
• at least two operational configurations, said operational configurations comprising:
• a first operational OPEN configuration whereby said CLNS is adapted to couple said premature neonate to at least one life supporting system by means of at least one life supporting coupling line, prior to positioning said CLNS in said medical device, and
• a second operational air-tight CLOSED configuration whereby said CLNS is adapted to continuously couple said premature neonate to said at least one life supporting system by means of at least one life supporting coupling line, when positioning said CLNS in said medical device,
• configuring said CLNS into said first operational configuration;
• placing said at least one premature neonate in said CLNS;
• configuring said CLNS into said second operational configuration;
• inserting said CLNS into said medical device, and
• performing medical tests on said at least one premature neonate.
