The Penguin bulb can be high-level disinfected by boiling, chemical disinfection, or autoclaving, and can withstand hundreds of uses. The neck opens to enable access to the inside of the head and body for effective cleaning. Penguin Newborn Suction is included in the NeoNatalie Complete Kit, or can be ordered separately.
