Single use, absorbent thermal blanket for effective warmth retention without an external heat source. Lightweight, radiolucent, non-latex and designed to help prevent hypothermia and reduce infection risk in emergency and clinical settings.
The Mediwrap High Protection Blanket – Adult is a single use, thermally retentive wrap designed to help maintain body temperature in emergency and clinical settings. Commonly used by hospitals, paramedics, and first responders, it provides passive patient warming without the need for external heat sources.
Constructed from absorbent air-laid tissue laminated to a heat-reflective backing, the blanket is effective in reducing heat loss through conduction, convection, evaporation, and radiation. The soft inner layer is comfortable against the skin, while the waterproof and windproof outer layer helps protect against external conditions.
Lightweight, non-latex, and radiolucent, the blanket is suitable for use during imaging procedures and is compact enough for easy storage in medical kits or ambulances. Its single use design also helps reduce the risk of cross infection.
