How are Heat Treat medical warming blankets designed?
A Heat Treat medical warming blanket is composed of three non-woven layers—a two-ply surgical drape and a single-ply pocket—to maximize heat retention and patient safety. Twelve specially designed pockets containing the warmers are positioned within the warming blanket to provide heat to the patient’s body core. The blanket’s warming action is activated when the package is opened and the blanket is exposed to air. Within 20 minutes, the Heat Treat medical warming blanket reaches its optimal temperature and can last up to 12 hours. The maximum temperature is 43 degrees Celsius. Thermographic studies demonstrate an average point temperature between 39 and 41 degrees Celsius. The Heat Treat medical warming blanket has been ergonomically designed to permit customized case-specific utilization.
