SUMMARY



The Ready-Heat™ blanket is comprised of three major components, the nonwoven blanket, the heating (chemical) element and the outer translucent polybag. The medical disposable blanket is heated to approximately 40°C (104F) for 8 hours when the blanket is exposed to ambient air. It takes 15-30 minutes to reach operating temperature. The activation occurs when the translucent polybag is opened and the blanket is removed and unfolded. 


Nonwoven Blanket

The synthetic blanket material is medical disposable bedding made of nonwoven spunbond consisting of 98% polycapronamide and 2% titanium dioxide. The 100% Nonwoven is 120 grams, blue color with a water resistant finish. The blanket is comprised of customized heating panels which are securely placed in sealed pockets. 


Heating Element

Each 20cm x 26cm (per pocket) comprised of a face side non-woven fabric inside polyethylene laminate film needle punched, the chemical ingredients include: iron powder (50-60%), water (15-25%), activated charcoal (5-10%), water vermiculite (1-3%), salt (2-5%), wood powder (2-5%) and water absorptive powder (0.1-1%).

Translucent Polybag

All vacuum packed with a dual layer translucent bag consisting of “KOP” polypropylene film with vinyliden chloride coated material.

The US ARMY Trauma Combat Casualty Critical Care Handbook states that as many as 66% of trauma patients arrive in emergency departments manifesting some degree of hypothermia. Over 80% of non-surviving patients have had a body temperature of less than 34 degree C. Prevention of mild to moderate hypothermia should be emphasized in military and especially combat operations.
