A solution for perioperative hypothermia
Our medical blankets are designed to remain with the patient throughout their surgical pathway. We recommend pre-warming the patient before transportation to the operating room, as this reduces the risk of the patient entering the room cold.
The blanket then stays over the patient throughout the surgery, and into their recovery. Conveniently, the blanket can be cut to suit any procedure, and ensures the patient feels warm and comfortable throughout, which is vital in a vulnerable and stressful time.
They are a cost-effective solution compared to others, such as forced air warming. Our medical blankets do not require an additional heat source to work, or any equipment. They are a standalone, patient specific product that works by using the patients own body heat, and re-circulating it.
Why does preventing perioperative hypothermia matter?
Perioperative hypothermia can cause a range of complications for a patient. Not only is it an unpleasant experience for the patient, but things
such as post operative infections, complications of surgical wounds, prolonged bleeding, amongst other issues.
The benefits of passive warming to prevent perioperative hypothermia extend outside of the patient. THERMARMOUR allows you to find cost and operational efficiencies too. A patient who develops perioperative hypothermia requires more resources, in terms of medicine, hospital supplies and staff time.
Furthermore, the condition causes a longer recovery, and in turn, a prolonged hospital stay. When waiting lists are growing, reducing the length of a patients stay is crucial. The use of a passive warming blanket is a cost-effective, simple, and accessible method to achieving efficiency in the surgical pathway.
