With maximum flexibility, theatre patient warming blankets cover the body
of the patient in any type of surgery. All blankets can be combined as required. Selected elements of the OR system are
easily applied at the start of the operation, or even during surgery. These blankets offer significant advantages over warm
air blankets not only in terms of cost but also because they do not suffer from air blockages caused by damp blankets.
Advantages of the Geratherm patient warming blanket system:
Geratherm patient warming blankets combine optimal hypothermia prevention with simple and safe operation:-
* individual elements of the warming system can be combined and connected by one cable to the control unit
* core temperature probe gives real time display of patient temperature
* carbon fibre material guarantees easy, smooth and pliable elements that shape to the contours of the body
* punctures of the blanket do not stop it working or make it unsafe
* constant, evenly distributed warming with dual monitoring safety sensors
* low voltage power supply (15v dc) makes these patient warming blankets safe to use in any clinical environment
Advantages of the Patient Warming System Control Unit:
* blanket sections daisy-chain together so there is only one cable from the controller
* continuous real time patient core temperature readout with data storage
* simple operation
* precise regional temperature control with pre-set values
* dual temperature sensing systems for greater safety
* visual & acoustic warning / error alarms
* compact format and lightweight
* attaches easily to infusion stands, operating tables, etc
* silent in use
* precise temperature control between patient and blanket
* automatic stop if excess temperature
* auto check for operational functions and safety test

The Geratherm Principle:
Since more than 90% of body heat is lost through the skin use efficient warming blanket sections to cover as much of the
exposed skin as possible. These insulated, heated orange blankets are more efficient than heated mattresses at warming
patients in theatre. Also they only warm when required rather than constantly
putting warm air into the operating room. In developing these products for
preventing unintentional hypothermia Geratherm use the highly flexible carbon
fibre technology that was originally used by NASA for warming space suits.
