Ecotherm Passive Insulators

The Ecotherm range of products are passive insulators, that work by preventing heat loss due to radiation and convection, which accounts for up to 90% of heat loss during surgery.

This range consists of sheets, jackets, hats, leggings and outfits for patient protection against corporeal heat loss. The Ecotherm range is effective, safe and environmentally friendly.

The whole Ecotherm range is manufactured from a reflective plastic film (EVA) bonded with a soft, but very strong non-woven fabric. Which has the following characteristics:

• Robust – Will not tear easily
• Non-conductive and radio transparent – Can be used with diathermy/ image intensifiers and x-ray
• Environmentally Friendly – The product is disposed of by incineration, producing a bi-product of only carbon dioxide and water.
