UK-based The Rodnight Partnership ties up with PLUSS for neonatal cooling device MiraCradle

MiraCradle is the world’s first non-electronic, portable device based on Phase Change Materials (PCMs), developed in partnership with Christian Medical College, Vellore

UK-based The Rodnight Partnership announced a partnership with Gurugram-based Pluss Advanced Technologies (PLUSS), to enhance the availability of ‘MiraCradle’, a unique neonatal cooling device in the Middle East, Africa and South East Asia markets.

MiraCradle is the world’s first non-electronic, portable device based on Phase Change Materials (PCMs), developed in partnership with Christian Medical College, Vellore. The MiraCradle neonatal cooler is an affordable passive cooling device that uses advanced phase change material (PCM) technology to induce therapeutic hypothermia among newborns suffering from birth asphyxia. MiraCradle can bring the much-needed hypothermic therapy to neonates through affordable passive cooling at a fraction of the price as compared to alternate active cooling methods.

“We are delighted to partner with The Rodnight Partnership which will further drive the market penetration of the life-saving technology of this product throughout Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Their knowledge of the neonatal market and the relevant channels will allow us to vastly increase the speed with which we can serve these markets with high need potential,” said Udit Mangal, Vice President & Business Head-Lifesciences, Pluss Advanced Technologies.

Martin Rodnight, MD, The Rodnight Partnership said, “We are much looking forward to working with Pluss Advanced Technologies and growing their international business. The MiraCradle is a perfect fit for our product range as we develop our neonatal presence in the market.”

Founded in 2009, The Rodnight Partnership was established as a consultancy to assist medical manufacturing companies in their international endeavours, particularly in the field of channel management and distribution.

PLUSS’s PCM technology-based solutions have also received awards for applications in medical, pharmaceuticals, buildings, refrigeration, and logistics, in India and overseas. The materials are used in a variety of sectors and help the world meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals targets.
