What Is a Patient Warmer?
A patient warmer is a medical device designed to raise or maintain a patient’s body temperature during and after surgical procedures, in ICU settings, or when treating hypothermic patients. The primary aim is to:
-
Prevent perioperative hypothermia
-
Improve recovery rates
-
Reduce complications such as infection and blood loss
-
Enhance comfort and outcomes in neonates, elderly, and trauma patients
Maintaining normothermia is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. That’s where the HICO-VARIOTHERM 555 stands out.
