WarmTouch Patient Warming System Introduction
Convective Air Warming A convective air warming system includes a piece of equipment which generates heat & blows filtered air into a disposable blanket warming a patient. The disposable blanket has an impermeable upper surface, but a permeable (tiny holes) lower surface which allows the warm air to pass through the surface of the blanket onto the patient s skin.
