With a focus on providing innovative, clinical solutions to protect patients and healthcare workers, KIMBERLY-CLARK has announced the UK launch of its Patient Warming System. Designed to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare acquired infections (HAI) across a wide range of surgical procedures, the new system allows anaesthetists and surgeons to manage precisely patient temperatures during complex operations. It is proven to be the most efficient, non-invasive method of temperature control available.
The company’s system is suited to a wider range of applications, particularly long operations of over three hours, including cardiothoracic, trauma and intensive care procedures. The device can be customised to fit any adult patient and will stay in place where applied throughout the procedure. As the patient’s temperature is being controlled, the operating theatre temperature can be set to provide the most comfortable environment for staff.
