BabyBjorn - badania nacisku na genitalia dziecka
Lekarze-specjaliści o nacisku na genitalia
W jaki sposób BabyBjörn sprawdza, czy dzieci noszone w nosidełkach BabyBjörn nie są narażone na szkodliwy nacisk na genitalia?
Bezpieczeństwo i zdrowie dzieci to najważniejsze wartości brane pod uwagę przy projektowaniu nowych nosidełek BabyBjörn. Z tego właśnie powodu BabyBjörn współpracuje z pediatrami, położnymi i rodzinami testującymi nosidełka BabyBjörn przed ich wprowadzeniem do sprzedaży. Ma to zagwarantować, że każde nosidełko BabyBjörn spełnia najwyższe standardy bezpieczeństwa.
Ważnym etapem tego procesu jest kontrola nacisku jakiemu podlega dziecko noszone w nosidełku BabyBjörn. BabyBjörn
One important stage in the process is checking the sitting pressure on a child carried in a BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier. We have taken pressure measurements in consultation with Dr Ragnar Olegård
(PhD and Associate Professor; former head of the paediatric clinic in
Mölndal and former head of neonatal care at the Queen Silvia Children's
Hospital at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg), to make sure
that the child is not exposed to dangerous or uncomfortable pressure on
the genitals. These measurements are conducted in collaboration with Swerea IVF - Swedish Research, in their test laboratories.
In
order to investigate the sitting pressure, a pressure mat is placed in
the carrier, which the child then sits on. This provides us with answers
as to where the pressure is greatest and whether or not it is at a
harmful level. We carry out tests with children weighing less than and
more than the maximum permitted weight for the carrier.
The results
clearly indicate that the child's weight is on the sitting bones (2)
and (3) and over the child's back or torso (4, depending on whether the
child sits facing outwards or inwards). The pressure on the child's back
or torso is due to the carrier's function of supporting and lifting the
child upwards. Our research shows that the resulting sitting pressure
is within the boundaries of what we call a good comfort pressure. The
pressure on the genitals is neither harmful nor uncomfortable. We have
carried out these investigations on all BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier models.
Explanation of the image below
The
image shows the pressure mat that is placed under the child in the
carrier, which the child sits on to show the pressure points that arise.
Yellow and red colours indicate higher pressure in relation to the
lower. The measurement was conducted at the end of December 2010, using a
BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Miracle.
During the evaluation, all the straps on the carrier were tightened and
it was adjusted to the correct position for the child.
The child participating in the pressure measurement was:
A boy.
19 months old.
The child was facing outwards.
1 Area around the genitals and the area that the measurement is primarily focused on.
2 Right sitting bone
3 Left sitting bone
4 Child's back
