Protecting Fragile Patients: The Smarter Way to Deliver Bubble CPAP
When it comes to neonatal respiratory support, safety and efficiency are everything. The Babi.Plus BCPAP and nCPAP Kits from Respiralogics are designed to make delivering bubble CPAP therapy easier, safer, and more precise for infants under 10kg, while addressing a key challenge in neonatal care: preventing skin and nasal injuries.
A recent quality improvement study highlighted just how significant this issue can be. Before implementing a structured BCPAP skincare protocol, a NICU reported six nasal pressure injuries in six months. After adopting evidence-based practices, injury rates dropped to zero over a two-year follow-up.¹ This study underscores the importance of pairing the right protocols with the right equipment to protect neonates during BCPAP therapy.
Babi.Plus BCPAP Kit
That’s where the Babi.Plus BCPAP Kit stands out. This all-in-one solution combines the patented Babi.Plus Bubble PAP Valve and Pressure Relief Manifold in a streamlined, easy-to-assemble system, eliminating the cumbersome setup often associated with bubble devices. With clearly marked pressure controls (1–10 cm H₂O), adjustable flows (1–12 L/min), and built-in safety features to prevent excess circuit pressure, clinicians can deliver reliable therapy with confidence and consistency.
The kit integrates seamlessly with standard humidifiers, delivery circuits, cannula kits, and other nasal interfaces, while its closed system minimizes spillage and contamination. Constructed from phthalate-free, latex-free, hypoallergenic materials, it’s designed with both patient safety and provider convenience in mind.
Features and benefits:
- Complete, ready-to-use kit for nCPAP delivery
- Evidence-informed design that supports protocols proven to reduce nasal injuries
- Quick setup with universal connections
- Precise and secure pressure adjustments
- Safe, closed system that reduces contamination risk
- Single-patient use for added safety
Deliver Safe and Comfortable nCPAP and NIV
The Babi.Plus nCPAP Kit by Respiralogics pairs seamlessly with the Babi.Plus BCPAP system to maximize comfort and skin protection. Its soft, medical-grade silicone nasal prongs are contoured to reduce irritation, avoid septum pinching, and stay securely in place during therapy.
Each kit includes four prong sizes for infants under 10 kg and an integrated pressure monitoring line for proximal airway measurement, improving safety while reducing clutter near the patient’s face.
