Product information for Mediwrap High Protection Single Use Blanket, Adult
The Mediwrap High Protection Single Use Blanket is a cost effective, adsorbent, thermal wrap used for the treatment and prevention of hypothermia and passive patient warming. It is produced from high bulk, air-laid tissues laminated to 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 Single Use Blanket is thermally retentive, working on 4 levels:
