Innovative Mobile Patient Warming System

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 20 Apr 2009
A portable patient warming system can reduce the risk of hypothermia and associated patient complications before, during, and after surgery.

The Chillbuster portable patient warming system helps clinical staff stabilize patient body temperature on the move to help prevent hypothermia, shock, infection, and associated complications by maintaining a temperature of up to 50 °C. More...
The compact, mobile system weighs only four kg, and eliminates need for costly disposable warming devices.

Quick changing, impervious, single-use covers slip over the reusable ChillBuster blanket to minimize preparation time and avoid patient cross contamination. The ChillBuster operates on any alternating (AC) or direct (DC) power source (110-220 VAC, 50-400 Hz, or 11-28 VDC), and is also available with an up to four-hour rechargeable battery. The rugged system is also designed for use in the battlefield, emergency situations, and in all types of healthcare facilities. The Chillbuster portable patient warming system is a product of ThermoGear (Lake Oswego, OR, USA), and is distributed by MicroTek Medical (Columbus, MS, USA).

"This system has been used very effectively on the battlefield by our military surgical teams and in casualty evacuations including air and ground transport...it is comfortable for patients and relatively easy to use," said Mel Campf, president of ThermoGear.
