CLINICAL GARMENT WITH INSULATION
Aspects of the present disclosure can be related to a warming device, systems, and methods of using. The warming device can include a clinical garment comprising a body portion adapted to cover a portion of a patient, an inner surface configured to face the patient, and an outer surface opposite the inner surface. The body portion can include sleeves sized and positioned for receiving the patients arms. In addition, the clinical garment can include an insulative layer comprising an insulative edge portion disposed on the clinical garment. The insulative edge portion is configured to make the warming device non-linting.
Convective Warming Device
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a warming system including a warming device. The warming device includes a clinical garment comprising a body portion adapted to cover a portion of a patient, an inner surface for facing the patient, and an outer surface for facing away from the patient. The body portion includes sleeves sized and positioned for receiving the patient's arms and a torso portion adapted to cover an anterior torso of a patient. A first pneumatic convective device can be disposed adjacent to the inner surface of the clinical garment. The pneumatic convective device can include an opening formed in the clinical garment for admitting a stream of pressurized, warmed air into the first pneumatic convective device. The warming system can also have a second pneumatic convective device in a fully-folded configuration or partially-folded configuration and disposed on a portion of the clinical garment.
Warming Blanket and Method of Use Thereof
A warming blanket for warming a patient includes a first sheet including a first major surface of the warming blanket, and a second sheet including a second major surface of the warming blanket. The second sheet is sealingly joined to the first sheet to form one or more inflatable portions between the first and second sheets. An adhesive layer is disposed on the first major surface of the first sheet. A liner assembly is disposed on the adhesive layer opposite to the first major surface and fully covers the adhesive layer. The liner assembly includes a plurality of release liners delimited from each other and releasably bonded to the adhesive layer, such that each release liner is independently removable from the liner assembly to expose a corresponding portion of the adhesive layer. Each of the first sheet, the adhesive layer, and the plurality of release liners is air-permeable.
System for Generating and Applying Heated Air to the Human Body
Disclosed is a system and method for producing and storing hot air, and for applying the stored hot air to a human body. The hot air producing system may include a heating apparatus configured to heat air to a temperature, a temperature setting gauge, a pressure gauge, a pump to pump the hot air, a fill connection, a container for receiving hot air from the heating apparatus and storing the hot air therein, the container including at least one valve to connect to the fill connection of the heating apparatus such that the container can receive the hot air from the heating apparatus, an adjustable flow release mechanism connected to an outlet of the container for receiving the hot air, and a flexible hose connected to the adjustable flow release mechanism. Embodiments of the invention can include a computer system capable of governing all the components.
SLEEVE-BASED BODY TEMPERATURE REGULATION
A heating system comprises a wearable sleeve, a first heating pad associated with a first portion of the wearable sleeve, a second heating pad associated with a second portion of the wearable sleeve, one or more temperature sensors associated with the wearable sleeve, and control circuitry communicatively coupled to the first heating pad, the second heating pad, and the one or more temperature sensors. The control circuitry is configured to receive one or more temperature signals from the one or more temperature sensors, determine a temperature associated with a patient based on the one or more temperature signals, determine that the temperature is less than a target temperature value, and at least partly in response to said determining that the temperature is less than the target temperature value, activate at least one of the first heating pad or the second heating pad.
Infection control system for forced air warming machines
A single-use infection control system for a forced air warming machine having hosing connected to the machine including: a closable container having a chamber to receive the machine, the container constructed from air permeable material that prevents infectious airborne particles from entering the chamber; a sleeve having a first end and a second end, the first end engaged to an aperture on the container and the sleeve surrounding the hosing; and a filter cap constructed from the air permeable material, disposed at the second end and covering an opening of the hosing.
CLINICAL GARMENT WITH A CONVECTIVE DEVICE
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a warming device that includes a clinical garment and a first pneumatic convective device. The clinical garment includes an inner surface for facing the patient and having an inner surface area. The clinical garment has a hemline and forms a longitudinal axis. The first pneumatic convective device can have an air-permeable layer having a pneumatic surface area, the pneumatic surface area is at least 25% of the inner surface area in a deployed state. The warming device can include a first inlet for admitting a stream of pressurized, warmed air into the first pneumatic convective device. The second end of the first pneumatic convective device extends past the hemline when in the deployed state, and, when the first pneumatic convective device is in a folded state, the second end extends no greater than 3 inches past the hemline.
