Description

Pigeon offers a specialized solution for infant feeding in hospital settings with their slim neck baby bottle teats. These teats are designed for exclusive compatibility with Pigeon Flexible™ slim neck bottles and Sepal bottles, providing a seamless feeding experience for newborns.

Key Features

• Size and Suitability: The 'S' size is tailored for newborns, generally recommended for babies aged 0–4 months. However, the suitability may vary depending on the individual needs of the baby.

• Material: Crafted from soft, double-thickness silicone rubber, these teats are free from BPA and BPS, ensuring safety and peace of mind. The design includes a unique accordion-like structure that supports peristaltic tongue movement, mimicking the natural breastfeeding process.

• Design: The dome-like shape gently fits and supports the baby's mouth, while the single-piece moulding ensures durability. Each teat features an embossed size symbol on the underside for easy identification.

Advanced Functionality

• Venting System: Equipped with a unique venting system, these teats minimize swallowed air, reducing the risk of colic. The teat opens only when the baby sucks, adjusting the flow according to the baby's sucking strength, maintaining shape, and resisting collapse.

Sterilization and Maintenance

• Sterile Packaging: Each teat is supplied sterile and individually packaged, ideal for infection control in hospital environments. They can be sterilized using various methods, including boiling, electric steam, microwave, chemical, or UV sterilization. Care should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to UV sterilization to prevent premature aging.

• Cleaning Instructions: Thorough cleaning before sterilization is essential, with caution to avoid damaging the delicate tip. The single-piece design should not be separated during cleaning.

Usage Recommendations

• Single-Use Design: While intended for single-use in hospitals, these teats can be reused at home with proper care. Typically, they last 6–8 weeks with normal use, with a recommended replacement every 2 months or sooner if signs of wear appear.

• Inspection: Regular inspection is advised to ensure no damage or blockage occurs, which could affect performance.

Compatibility and Safety

• Exclusive Design: These teats are designed exclusively for slim neck bottles and are not compatible with wide neck bottles. Their performance is optimized when used with Sepal bottles.

• Heat Resistance: They offer heat resistance up to 120°C, though some versions should not exceed 110°C. Compliance with ISO 9001:2015 and HACCP quality management systems underscores their quality and reliability.

Environmental Considerations

For the silicone version, disposal should be with normal household refuse, as it is not recyclable. These teats are typically supplied in packs of two, with bulk packaging available for hospital use, aligning with the specific needs of healthcare providers.
