Temperature, humidity, etc. can be automatically regulated, and the oxygen concentration can also be freely adjusted. The top is made of a transparent synthetic resin cover, making it easy to observe, and feeding, nursing, examinations, and various treatments can be performed by inserting hands through four windows, and infection prevention effects have also been taken into consideration.
