statistics for 2015 shows that 3,978,497 births were registered in the United States.
These numbers are proof of how important it is for medical facilities to have bassinets and cribs that can accommodate the number of babies entering into this world.
On average, hospitals typically use their bassinets for anywhere between 5 to 10 years. Bassinets do experience a lot of wear and tear with babies constantly being put in and taken out of them and transferring the bassinets back and forth from room to room. Between the doctors, clinical staff, and new parents, they are being used constantly and all eventually need to be replaced.
We highly recommend stainless steel bassinets for hospitals who want to get the most out of their bassinets.
These bassinets can withstand the test of time because they are solid stainless steel which does not easily scratch or dent. They are exceptionally easy to clean as well, which is always important in a medical setting. We also suggest going with a polycarbonate basket that sits deep within our bassinet basket well which is ideal for holding the baby in a secure and safe place even if their older brother or sister pulls on the basket to take a peek at their new sibling. It is made of durable polycarbonate that is clear which makes your view of the baby clear as well and can also easily be cleaned. They are a low cost item which makes them easy to replace when needed.
Another necessary item that also needs frequent replacing is the bassinet mattress.
Many hospitals have preferences on how thick they want their mattress pads within their bassinets. We can customize to fit your preferences. Whether you want a memory foam pad, a thicker pad, or a thinner pad, we can accommodate you. We understand how hectic every day can be in the maternity units of a hospital with each new life that is brought into this world. We provide the bassinets that will give you peace of mind in the safety and quality of the equipment you use to allow you to focus on the more important tasks at hand.
