ABSTRACT:
An infant incubator having a base and a hood positioned atop of the base to form an infant compartment therebetween. The hood has a front access door that is hinged so as to move between an open and a closed position. The edge of the door opposite the hinged part has a magnetic strip that mates with a strip of magnetically attractable material positioned on the edge of the hood opening such that the door is retained in its closed position by a magnetic force. At least one door handle is mounted to the door at or near the end of the magnetic strip at the top of the door and can be pulled to open the door. The door is sufficiently flexible that pulling the handle causes a peeling effect such that relatively little force need be exerted to open the door from the corner, yet considerable force is required to open the door from inside the incubator by an infant residing therein.
