RedVac Newborn Transport System
The RedVac Newborn Transport System provides safe, stable and temperature-controlled transfer for pre-term and newborn babies up to 6 months old. Its integrated heating element maintains a precise 42°C, while dual vacuum chambers ensure correct spinal alignment and secure positioning during transport.
MediTECH is the exclusive distributor for the RedVac Newborn Transport System which is manufactured by Kohlbrat & Bunz in Austria. This system has been used in Europe for many years and we have tailored some of its features to suit the UK ambulance market.
The RedVac Newborn Transport System safely transports pre-term and newborn babies (with no minimum weight limit) up to approximately 6 months old. Engineered for use in ambulance and hospital environments, it ensures maximum safety, comfort and thermal stability throughout the entire transfer process.
The device can be supplied with an integrated heating element that maintains a precise temperature of 42°C. The system continuously monitors warmth via a built-in temperature sensor, ensuring optimal conditions for the infant. The power is supplied directly from the ambulance via the USB-C port or from a power bank when in use outside of the ambulance.
The RedVac system includes two independent vacuum chambers:
-
One acts as a rigid backboard, maintaining neutral spinal alignment from the moment the baby is placed inside.
-
The second wraps securely around the infant, providing gentle support and stability during transport.
Additional wipe-clean safety straps and an optional blanket enhance both security and infection control.
Designed for ease of use, the RedVac Newborn Transport System quickly attaches to any ambulance stretcher and fits neatly into a compact carry bag for simple storage and rapid deployment.
From point of birth to hospital handover, it ensures continuous protection and comfort for every newborn.
