Systems and methods for customizing medical tapes from a roll stock at customer use sites are provided. The system includes a tape converting machine where an adhesion modification mechanism is configured to modify adhesion properties of the tape from the roll stock, automatically or based on received customization instructions.

On-demand manufacturing for medical tapes

Aspects of the present disclosure provide for a patient warming system having a heating device configured to transfer heat to a patient based on a body heat score that indicates whether the patient is likely to sweat. The heating device includes a heater circuit configured to produce heat, the heater circuit thermally coupled to the patient. The heating device also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the heater circuit. The controller has one or more processors configured to receive one or more physiological indicators of the patient, determine the body heat score from one or more physiological indicators, determine whether the body heat score meets a score threshold, direct the heater circuit to produce a first amount of heat based on whether the body heat score meets a score threshold.

Patient warming system with monitoring and feedback capability

A substantially planar self-folding film assembly to generate a folded three-dimensional assembly. The assembly includes a flexible support substrate, adhesive elements, and folding members. The folding members include a base, a folding region, and a hinge adjacent each folding region attached at the base to the flexible support substrate by at least one of the adhesive elements. An array of polymer actuators is co-extensive, or shaped to be not co-extensive, with each of the flexible folding members. Upon activation by a patterned light to heat conversion layer, each polymer actuator is designed and configured to provide a displacement of the corresponding flexible folding member about each hinge.
