The BoogieBaby™ nasal aspirators provide a safe and convenient way to remove unwanted fluids from the oral and nasal passages of newborn babies.
Clinical Background:
Nasal aspirators are frequently used to aspirate unwanted fluid or mucous from the oral and nasal passages in neonates and small infants. The BoogieBaby range was designed in collaboration with clinicians and uses materials that are gentle on small infants. The product is available in a range of designs to cater for different patient needs, clinical situations and clinician preference.
Design Considerations:
BoogieBaby nasal aspirators come in different sizes to suit both premature and term babies. The tips are soft and flexible to minimise the risk of trauma. Materials used are free from latex, DEHP and BPA for complete safety.
A number of different tip designs ensure that there is a product in the range to suit different clinical needs and preferences. The preemie and standard tips offer simplicity and suit general use. The olive tips help create a seal in the nostril whilst minimising the risk of inserting the tip too far and causing trauma; these come in two different sizes for infants of different age and gestation. A smaller flare tip is also available.
The BoogieBaby nasal aspirators are designed to make single-handed operation simple. The comfortable thumb-control port allows easy control during the procedure.
The optional covers provide a convenient way to store the tips when not in use, to help reduce risk of contamination and nosocomial infections; they are fitted with a removable hook that allows them to be hung for easy accessibility.

Other Neonatal Care products:
The DeltaNeo™ range includes a number of items for positioning and creating boundaries for babies. Details are shown on the Developmental Care – DeltaNeo product page.
The Benjamin Care range is designed to support skin-to-skin contact, Kangaroo Care, and to help with positioning, thermoregulation and other developmental care practices. Details can be found on the Developmental Care – Benjamin Care product page.
Sucrose and glucose solutions have an established place in pain relief for neonates and small babies, which makes its own contribution to the developmental care process. Full details of the clinical background and products available from Delta Medical International are shown on the Sucrose/Glucose product page.
Neonatal head positioning has been shown to contribute to a reduction in IVH in premature babies, particularly in the first 72 hours of life. Management of head position can help to prevent plagiocephaly and other “flat head syndrome” conditions. Full details of the clinical background and products available from Delta Medical International are shown on the Neonatal Head Positioning product page.
Pacifiers are typically used in neonates where there is a need to encourage non-nutritive sucking, pain relief during minor procedures being one example. Studies have shown that non-nutritive sucking is associated with shorter hospital stays, earlier transition to bottle feeding from enteral feeding, improved bottle feeding and reduction in the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Full details of the clinical background and products available from Delta Medical International are shown on the JollyPop Pacifier product page.
