A baby incubator is a specialized medical device used to provide a controlled, warm environment for premature or critically ill newborns. It helps regulate the baby’s temperature, humidity, and oxygen levels, which are essential for their survival and growth. The incubator protects babies from infections and provides a safe space for them to grow and develop until they are strong enough to survive outside.

It is equipped with features such as temperature control, monitoring systems, and sometimes ventilation to support breathing. Baby incubators are commonly found in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and are vital in caring for vulnerable infants.
