1:30 Pēpi Splint designed for tiniest hospital patients
A new way to avoid skin injuries on hospitalised babies has just been successfully trialled at Wellington's neonatal intensive care ward.
The device is called a Pēpi Splint and has been devised to avoid adhesive tape being used to keep IV drips in place.
Dr Deborah Harris, a neonatal nurse practitioner at Te Herenga Waka-Victoria University of Wellington led the study
