Wecomet Supplies Infant Transport Devices to Gyeonggi, Incheon, and Jeju Fire Departments
Designed with a 1-meter width
Solving space constraints in ambulances and helicopters
Wecomet, an emergency response healthcare startup, announced on September 30 that it has signed a supply contract with the fire departments of Gyeonggi, Incheon, and Jeju for the infant transport device "BabyPod20."
Wecomet has previously supplied BabyPod devices to the fire departments of Sejong, North Chungcheong, and South Gyeongsang Provinces. With this new contract, the company will deliver an additional 43 units, aiming to enhance the safety of neonatal and infant transport and support the improvement of on-site response capabilities for paramedics.
The BabyPod is made from high-strength carbon fiber, making it lightweight and durable. With a width of 1 meter, it can be used in space-constrained environments such as ambulances and helicopters. In addition, it allows for X-ray and CT scans without moving the infant, enabling medical staff to make quick diagnoses and provide prompt treatment.
Notably, the product is equipped with a stretcher securing belt that can withstand up to 900 kg, a position-fixing belt to minimize movement, foam that absorbs external shocks, and a WarmGel mattress that provides thermal insulation. These features reduce head, foot, and lateral movement of infants, ensuring safe transport even in emergency situations.
Currently, the BabyPod is recognized worldwide for its effectiveness as an emergency transport device, being used in air transport services at children's hospitals in the United Kingdom, by the German ADAC air rescue team, and in disaster relief and emergency transport operations by the Brazilian Air Force and Navy, among others.
