Inditherm's patient warming systems are being routinely used in
clinical practice for the full range of surgical procedures and specialties.
They use the very latest technology to give best available performance and offer
significant cost savings.
High Performance
The patented technology ensures best possible heat transfer to the patient,
giving unrivalled performance in maintaining patient core temperature.
Practical & Convenient
The Inditherm Operating Room mattresses
allow the surgical and anaesthetic teams full access to the patient, whilst
maintaining excellent performance. No fitting and adjustment of disposable
blankets is necessary. The uniform heat transfer characteristics ensure the
patient is warmed without affecting the surrounding environment and surgical
team. The products come in a range of sizes, can be customised for special
needs, and are X-Ray translucent.
Clinically Proven
Inditherm mattresses have been clinically proven to provide equivalent or
better warming performance than traditional warm air systems (Baxendale, et al, 2000). The
ever-increasing number of users can attest to the products' efficacy in the
routine clinical setting.
Cost Saving
Inditherm's range of Operating Room patient warming products provide a very
cost effective solution, preventing hypothermia and associated complications
during and after surgery. The products are re-usable and require no consumables.
Inditherm typically will save at least 80% of forced air warming costs.
Intangible savings such as reduced incidence of post-operative infection, lower
usage of blood products, prevention of pressure sores, etc will typically give
pay-back on one or two patients.
Simple To Use
Inditherm's patient warming systems are easy to use and provide a high level
of patient care. The control unit offers user-selectable temperature with
reliable, intelligent alarms. The unit is compact and can be mounted on an IV
pole or anaesthetic trolley.
Safe & Reliable
All patient warming products - mattresses and blankets - are powered at low
voltage (24V), ensuring that patient and operator safety is maintained at all
times. Surfaces are anti-static, latex-free polyurethane with fully RF welded
seams, allowing simple cleaning and avoiding any risk of damage or
infection.
Pressure Relief
The unique design fully integrates high performance viscoelastic foam into the mattresses, providing excellent
pressure relief. There is therefore no
requirement for cumbersome and inconvenient gel pads. This added benefit has
been proven to out-perform traditional gel pads (see Comparison: Pressure Relief) and
standard operating table mattresses.

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.
