Heated Mattresses in Operating Theatres
The main causes of peri operative hypothermia are anaesthetic drug action side effect, room temperature
and post trauma shock. Recent clinical studies outlined that hypothermia is often associated with the increase
of severe complications such as post-op infections and cardiac disease. The direct consequence of this is
increased hospitalization and drug use, and this can adversely affect the budgets.
Various types of system have been tried including passive warming (insulating blankets to reduce the loss of
body heat) and active approaches (warm air, warm water, heat lamps, etc). All too often these systems do not
perform as expected, preparation time can be lengthy, equipment cumbersome, cleaning difficult and overall
cost effectiveness questionable.
The ideal product should be technically efficient, easily transportable, versatile enough to be used almost
anywhere, safe for patient and staff alike, washable, sterilizable, and with a cost/benefit ratio definitely
advantageous when compared with existing alternative systems.
A newly developed technology allows the manufacture of a special fabric able to efficiently support treatment
against hypothermia and the maintenance of normothermia in any situation.



The SCL MED mattress is flexible and versatile
The TRM MED P mattress
is PVC encapsulated
Carbon micro filament heating bundles are woven into a tough polyester fabric to produce a heating mattress
sheet that is soft, easy to handle lightweight mattress fabric.
Use of the SCL MED is so simple - just by plugging it in the heating mattress warms to the desired operating
temperature as selected on the controller that has a range from 28C to 40.7C. The heating takes place over
the whole of the mattress surface, safely warming the patient through thermal conduction. The mattress is
placed directly on the operating table then covered with a non woven protective sheet. The radio-lucent feature
of carbon and polyester allow the use even during X-ray scanning (ie CT scanning).
The TRM MED P is the PVC encapsulated version of the heated mattress.
We are pleased to introduce three sizes of sealed heated mattress for use in operating theatres.
These are designed to be used when operating on babies and young children and can supply more
warmth to the patient than other comparable mattresses.
