Inditherm have exploited their patented flexible polymer technology to
improve patient warming performance. The price advantages allow warming to be applied
to a much wider range of patients and clinical situations. Products have been
customised to take into account the needs of routine and specialised procedures
alike. Applications include: Operating Room; Recovery Room (PACU);
Anaesthetic Room; Intensive Care; Accident & Emergency; Patient
Transport.
Operating Room
The Inditherm Operating Room Mattress allows the
surgical and anaesthetic teams full access to the
patient, whilst maintaining patient core temperature. The uniform heat transfer characteristics,
combined with large contact area, ensure the patient is warmed without
affecting the surrounding environment and staff. The products come in a range of
sizes and are X-Ray translucent.
Recovery Room (PACU)
Inditherm's Recovery Blanket is designed to prevent heat loss in the
vulnerable post-operative stage. Mattresses can also be used as a very cost
effective solution for preventing hypothermia and associated complications after
surgery. The products are re-usable and require no consumables.
Anaesthetic Room
The simplicity with which the warming system can be set up make it ideal for
extending the warming period to include time in the anaesthetic room. This
ensures normal patient temperature is maintained in the important period
immediately following induction of anaesthesia.
Intensive Care
Inditherm mattresses have been clinically proven to provide warming
performance equivalent to, or better than, traditional warm air systems (Baxendale, et al, 2000). Warming blankets
using the same technology can also be used as an alternative, or to augment
warming.
Accident & Emergency
Hypothermia is common in patients presenting as emergency
cases. Clinical studies have shown that the Inditherm system is effective in
re-warming and more convenient than traditional air warming methods (Munns, et
al).
Patient Transport
Management of hypothermia is best initiated as soon as possible after
onset. The Inditherm mattress system is ideally suited for use in ambulances, to
warm patients during transport, and can run off the vehicle low voltage
system.
Fully Compliant
Inditherm products have been proven in a wide range of demanding Operating
Room environments. They have been shown to be fully compatible with all other
electronic medical devices. Products are fully approved to international medical
device standards.
