Abstract
Disclosed is a preemie warmth stocking cap comprised preferably of several components including in a multilayered construction two layers of a woven or knitted stretchable but resilient fabric, such as cotton, which forms an outer and inner layer between which is disposed a thin and flexible insulating plastic layer to minimize heat loss that is readily deformable, but not readily breakable and which includes an adhesive to achieve positional stability between the plastic layer and an adjoining fabric layer. A third optional component is comprised of a clamping structure comprised of an inert material used to close the top of tubular fabric about the top of the infant's head if the fabric layers are made with a tubular stockinette.
Claims19
A neonate warmth stocking cap comprising:
- a multilayer structure to cover a top of an infant's head having an insulating plastic layer to deter heat loss, said layer being a plastic that is readily deformable to fit size and shape of the infant's head;
- a resilient fabric layer to conform to the size and shape of the top of the infant's head;
- and
- an adhesive layer disposed between the plastic layer and the resilient fabric layer that selectively and removably attaches substantially the entire surface of insulating plastic layer to the fabric layer.
A neonate warmth stocking cap comprising:
- a multilayer structure to cover a top of an infant's head having at least one insulating plastic layer to deter heat loss that is deformable to fit the size and shape of the infant's head;
- resilient fabric layers on both sides of the plastic layer;
- and
- an adhesive layer disposed between the plastic layer and at least one of the fabric layers to selectively and removably attach substantially the entire surface of the plastic layer to one of the fabric layers.
A neonate warmth stocking cap comprising:
- a multilayer structure to cover a top of an infant's head including a first resilient fabric layer;
- a plastic layer having the features of optimal insulative effects by minimizing heat transfer therethrough, a thin enough cross section to achieve maximum flexibility and adequate deformability to fit the stocking cap to the size and shape of the infant's head, and including a removable adhesive to achieve positional stability with respect to the first fabric layer so that the plastic layer does not slip out of position leaving a portion of the stocking cap without the insulating effects;
- a second resilient fabric layer on an opposite side of the plastic layer from the first resilient fabric layer;
- and
- a removable adhesive disposed between the plastic layer and at least one of the fabric layers to maintain positional stability between the plastic layer and at least one fabric layer.
