The basic machine has a place for the baby to lie and is surrounded by a clear plastic box. A heating element lies below the baby. There is always a control for the heater, and generally a feedback mechanism to regulate temperature within a degree of a set point. Most incubators in the developing world have latex gloves built into the chamber that allow for manipulation of the baby without entering the isolated environment (see figure).en-USInfant IncubatorUMDNS: 756Book chapter
