Ready-Heat Disposable Heated Blanket 34"x60"

The Ready-Heat™ 6-Panel Heated Disposable Blanket provides slow, continuous warming to aid in the treatment of hypothermia, shock, and trauma. When exposed to ambient air, the blanket gradually warms to 104°F in 15-30 minutes. It will remain warm for 8 hours.

Sealed in an oxygen-free protective polybag, the blanket's heating elements react with the oxygen in the atmosphere and generate heat once the bag is opened. The blanket is comprised of customized heating panels, which are securely placed in sealed pockets.

The US Army Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) 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°C. Prevention of mild to moderate hypothermia should be emphasized in military, and especially combat, operations.
