The Mediwrap High Protection Blanket is a cost effective, single use, absorbent, thermal wrap, used in hospitals and by paramedics for the treatment and prevention of hypothermia and passive patient warming.
It is produced from high bulk, air-laid tissues laminated to a heat reflective material by means of a unique, non-toxic, non-latex bonding process. The material has been developed into a range of low cost products for the treatment and prevention of hyperthermia that can be used in almost any situation.
The blanket is used with the soft tissue side to the patient and does not need to be used in conjunction with any other blanket or material.
The Mediwrap High Protection Blanket is thermally retentive, working on 4 levels:
Insulating (inner layer)
Convective
Evaporative (if patient is wet)
Radiant
When and Where to Use:
Emergency, disaster, and trauma situations
Any instance where there may be loss of bodily fluids or risk of infection
Emergency room, operating theatre and post-operative care
Any situation where a blanket could be used
