Hypothermia is one of the conditions associated with the so-called lethal triad of trauma, making prevention of heat loss an important part of trauma management. The blanket, based on Reflexcell technology, helps reduce heat loss and protect the patient from adverse environmental conditions.
Its construction consists of multiple layers of air cells reinforced with elasticated bands. The metallised inner surface reflects radiant body heat back towards the patient, while the windproof and waterproof outer layer helps reduce heat loss through convection and provides protection from environmental exposure.
Thanks to its compact design, the blanket can be conveniently stored in a medical backpack, first aid kit, or vehicle. When packed, it measures approximately 20 × 11 × 4.6 cm, while its unfolded dimensions are approximately 2.35 × 2.38 m. The blanket weighs approximately 431 g, allowing it to provide substantial coverage without taking up excessive space or significantly increasing carried equipment weight.
It is a practical solution for emergency, tactical, and military medical professionals, rescue services, and other teams that need to provide effective protection against heat loss during trauma management, evacuation, or prolonged waiting for further medical care.
How does it differ from a foil blanket?
Reflexcell air-channel layers retain heat far better than single-layer foil.
Is it waterproof?
Yes, the manufacturer states waterproof and windproof construction.
