The Zaky HUG is the only evidence-based device that is engineered for neuroprotection and family integrated care.

Quick reference for The Zaky HUG - It virtually replaces all positioners, nests, attachment/bonding aids, soothing aids, transitional aids.

One Universal Size and Weight that provide individualized care for every baby independent of the size, medical condition, or developmental stage.

Each baby uses one package of The Zaky that includes one left + one right hand, and a wash bag.

Conclusion:
Neuroprotective supportive care using a weighted maternally-scented parental simulation device [The Zaky HUG] resulted in increased physiologic stability of premature and early term infants through the promotion of self-regulation seen by reduction of stressful behaviors, and decreased apnea, and bradycardia.

Conclusion:
According to the results of the current research, using the simulating glove [The Zaky HUG] to reduce pain during invasive and painful procedures is an effective and easy method for preterm newborns. Therefore, it is recommended that such simulation devices be applied in NICU for pain management, especially when parents of infants refuse to be present during painful procedures."
