Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a temperature device including a flexible substrate, and an electrical circuit on a surface of the flexible substrate, the electrical circuit including a heater element having an outer perimeter and an inner perimeter, the inner perimeter surrounding a zone of the surface, the zone is thermally distinct from the heater element, wherein the heater element has a first dimension defining the outer perimeter and a second dimension defining the inner perimeter, wherein a ratio of the first dimension to a second dimension is no greater than 2.1:1, a first thermal sensor disposed in the zone, a second thermal sensor disposed outside of the heater element, a plurality of electrical pads disposed outside of the heater element, and a plurality of conductive traces connecting the first and second thermal sensors and the heater element with the plurality of electrical pads.

Core body temperature device and system

A clinical garment for patient warming including a front body panel having a first edge, an opposite second edge, an insulated sheet comprising an insulated layer positioned between an outer layer a film layer, a permeable layer adjacent to the film layer of the insulated sheet, a blanket section defined by a lower portion of the insulated sheet sealed to a lower portion of the permeable along a top edge, a bottom edge, and opposite first and second side edges of the blanket section, and at least one inlet port extending into the blanket section. The garment further includes a first back panel secured to at least a portion of the first edge of the front body panel and a second back panel secured to at least a portion of the second edge of the front body panel.

Patient warming systems and corresponding methods

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a warming system including a warming device. The warming device includes a clinical garment comprising a body portion adapted to cover a portion of a patient, an inner surface for facing the patient, and an outer surface for facing away from the patient. The body portion includes sleeves sized and positioned for receiving the patient's arms and a torso portion adapted to cover an anterior torso of a patient. A first pneumatic convective device can be disposed adjacent to the inner surface of the clinical garment. The pneumatic convective device can include an opening formed in the clinical garment for admitting a stream of pressurized, warmed air into the first pneumatic convective device. The warming system can also have a second pneumatic convective device in a fully-folded configuration or partially-folded configuration and disposed on a portion of the clinical garment.

Convective warming device

An air hose includes a corrugated flexible hose. The air hose also includes a first hose end section mechanically coupled to the corrugated flexible hose. The first hose end section includes a pressure sensor communicatively coupled to a warming unit. The first hose end section is configured to releasably couple to a pneumatic convective device. The air hose also includes a second hose end section mechanically coupled to the corrugated flexible hose. The second hose end section is configured to couple to the warming unit.
