Provides comfortable, flexed posture in the prone position.
The Dandy Prone Pad facilitates developmentally supportive prone positioning that closely mirrors the fetal flexed posture. With its hourglass shape and unique lower extremity supports (goalposts), the Prone Pad encourages the extremities into midline flexion and guides the knees and hips into proper alignment. With 5 sizes that fit easily into DandleLION positioning aids, it’s easy to find the right sized support for every patient.

Sizing
The Prone Pad is designed to support the infant from top of the cranium to the umbilicus. When selecting the correct size, start with a size that fits the baby’s weight:
XS: <1000 g
S: 1000-1800 g
M: 1800-2500 g
L: 2500 – 3600 g
XL: 3600-4400 g
Because a baby’s length does not always correlate with weight, before opening the Prone Pad bag, hold it next to the infant and assess the length of the Pad against the length of the infant from top of head to umbilicus. Using these “landmarks” to estimate fit helps ensure proper size selection.
