Summary

A UK-based SME has developed a novel 'nest' for premature babies and newborns with special care needs designed with input from clinicians. They are looking to enter new markets with this product and their neonatal range of products. They are looking for agents and distributors with knowledge and connections in the obstetrics and neonatal departments to achieve this. It is envisaged that the partnership will take the form of a commercial agency agreement or a distribution services agreement.

Description

Premature babies present clinical staff with particular challenges, especially in keeping these patients comfortable and protected while also being able to carry out medical treatment. This requires specific equipment that is often not available in the correct sizes or in appropriate materials necessitating improvisation by staff which can take time and thus more costs. One such example of this is the need to keep premature babies warm and protected from external stimuli.

A UK-based SME has designed and developed a 'nest' product for use by premature babies and by sickly newborns with complicated clinical needs. These 'nests' provide the optimal environment to support the physical and neurological development of the premature baby or newborn while still enabling clinicians and parents to interact easily with them.

The UK SME is looking to enter new geographical markets with this product and are looking for agents and distributors to help them to achieve this market entry and increase sales. They are looking to partner with agents and distributors with knowledge, experience and connections with obstetric clinics/neonatal/special care baby units and hospitals. It is envisaged that the partnership will take the form of a commercial agency agreement or a distribution services agreement.

Advantages & innovations

The UK SME's neonatal nest has the following advantages: Designed with input from clinicians to address the issues they see in the clinical setting. Provides the optimum environment to contain and support the position of the baby, helping to facilitate normal physical development. Designed and constructed with safe boundaries and comfort to aid physiological stability and support positive neurodevelopmental outcomes. The nests are ready to use, saving clinical staff the time it would take to construct nests from towels and sheets.

Partner sought

The UK SME is looking to partner with agents and distributors with connections and expertise in the obstetrics and midwifery sectors, with relevant clinics and clinicians or alternatively procurement departments of relevant institutions. The SME will provide the neonatal 'nests' as well as any technical support regarding their use. It is envisaged that the partnership will take the form of a commercial agency agreement or a distribution services agreement.
