Neocots are now used internationally and they form the definitive intensive-care infant retrieval system in Australia, performing nearly 300 retrievals-per-month nationally, of critically-ill infants in road ambulances, helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft including Life Flight and the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

Another medical device available now from Wenross Holdings Pty Ltd is a back- transfer system called COSYPOD. This device is designed to provide a medium-care environment in which infants originally retrieved in the Neocot may be returned to their home hospitals and families as soon as the infant is well enough to travel. Cosypod has two infant capsules on the one stretcher and each of which can accommodate twins. Neocot and Cosypod both provide heated capsules for the infant, together with vital signs monitoring, syringe pumps, electric suction with on-board battery power and oxygen.

The latest Wenross Holdings Pty Ltd innovation is the integration of PHOTOTHERAPY within the Neocot capsule. Operating from batteries, treatment for jaundice is therefore continuous during the entire retrieval.

Wenross Holdings Pty Ltd now also manufactures the NEODECK which has been designed in conjunction with Stryker Australia Pty Ltd to secure Infant Retrieval Systems to all models of Stryker and some Ferno stretchers in Australia and Europe.
