Small, compact beds with low sides specifically designed for very young infants (i.e., neonates). Bassinets designed for use in healthcare environments typically consist of a metal or wooden frame with a top that is designed to hold a bassinet basket or to provide an appropriate sleeping surface for the infant. Designs range from basic stands/frames to frames equipped with shelves, cabinets and/or drawers intended to provide storage. Certain designs may incorporate woven wood frames with retractable hoods. In healthcare environments, bassinets typically are wheeled devices used to move the infant to different locations. Some designs may incorporate over-the-bed/wheelchair accessible features.
