THERMARMOUR has been thoroughly tested by clinicians and independent experts who have confirmed its effectiveness at maintaining normothermia in a perioperative setting. Please see the full outputs from these clinical trials below and get in touch with the team if you have any questions.
Please note that the following studies were undertaken using the same product but under the previous brand name of ‘Orve-wrap.’
“The lessons from fairly rudimentary field tests such as those outlined above can be influential in persuading investors to fund the use of innovative materials for experimental projects. The learning from such tests can also be useful in helping shape the design decisions of those developing new ideas and forms that, in turn, may yield good results in more advanced tests. Empirical learning that results from such tests can be important in shaping new design ideas.”
“As can be seen in tables 1-3 and figures 5-7, the Thermarmour blanket provided substantially more insulation than the standard blanket This is linked to a substantial lower heat loss from the body as calculated in Table 4: for Thermarmour. With an approximated heat production of a resting person (1.8 meters stature) of around 100 watts, in the Blue, the person will cool down, while in the Thermarmour the person will warm up.”
‘’In summary, when evaluating against mean patient temperature at 60 min, this study demonstrates the Orve + wraps’®’ (now THERMARMOUR) noninferiority to Forced Air Warming in the postoperative phase in conditions described here. Alongside this, during the patients’ PACU stay, the adverse event rates were low and were statistically not significantly different, demonstrating the safety of the Orve + wrap® (now THERMARMOUR) in the postoperative period.”
“This service evaluation demonstrated that in spine surgery, the use of a Thermarmour warming blanket can achieve a high degree of compliance with the WHO standard for temperature management. The warming blankets are £13 cheaper than Forced Air Warming. This can save £8,000 per year in our institution.”
“By analysing the data collected we conclude that the preheated Thermarmour and Bair® Hugger perform comparably. In actively warming patients with IPH in the postoperative PACU period. In addition, cost analysis reveals a potential saving of £5.30 for each patient if the Thermarmour is adopted by the PACU department. This is a significant cost benefit for the department.”
“Since hip surgery patients are placed lateral, the area of the body that is in contact with the heated mattress is very limited. This may have an impact on the ability to adequately warm the patient. THERMARMOUR blankets have been shown to be effective in maintaining core temperature during spine surgery at RJAH.”
