Baby has to be squeezed into clear tube to have X-ray

A baby has been X-rayed using a clear tube to keep her still. Just six months old, little Stevie has Down's Syndrome and a congenital heart defect.

To have X-rays, Stevie, who lives in Canada, is placed into a clear tube, with her arms raised up. Her conditions mean she is no stranger to the procedure.

The medical device is designed to hold babies or small children completely still during X-rays to give a clear image. The manufacturer describes the Pigg-O-Stat as a "paediatric immobilisation device designed for positioning infants and young children for an appropriate X-ray without significant complications".
