From the website:
The award-winning The Zaky is a human hand mimetic and pediatric bolster support device ergonomically designed to simulate the shape, warmth, weight (500 grams), and touch of the parents’ hands and forearms. Parents are encouraged to scent The Zaky by placing it directly on the skin (chest or neck) to provide more effective family centered developmental care to hospitalized infants on the bed/incubator.
By using The Zakys, we not only provide a simulation of the presence of the parent, as the original The Zaky did for Zachary 13 years ago. The Zaky now not only simulates the presence of the parent, but it provides proper positioning to support the musculoskeletal development, provides comfort, containment, boundaries, a sense of security, and all that combined results in babies are soothed, more relaxed, calmer, and all these is known to promote sleep.
