Abstract
A perioperative warming device includes a clinical garment having an inside surface supporting a convective apparatus with multiple stacked sections. One section of the convective apparatus is adapted to provide comfort warming by convection. Another section of the convective apparatus is adapted to provide therapeutic warming by convection.
Claims12
A perioperative warming device, comprising:
- a clinical garment with an inside surface;
- and
- a convective apparatus supported on the inside surface;
- the convective apparatus including first and second sheets of material sealed at a common periphery and a sheet of impermeable material disposed between the first and second sheets to define two separately inflatable sections, the first section adapted to provide comfort warming by convection and the second section adapted to provide therapeutic warming by convection.

A perioperative warming device, comprising:
- a clinical garment with an inside surface;
- and
- a convective apparatus supported on the inside surface;
- the convective apparatus including first and second separately inflatable sections sharing at least one common member, the first section adapted to provide comfort warming by convection and the second section adapted to provide therapeutic warming by convection;
- wherein the convective apparatus further includes a permeable sheet of material, a first impermeable sheet of material substantially coextensive with the sheet of permeable material, a second impermeable sheet of material sandwiched between the first impermeable sheet of material and the permeable sheet of material, a continuous seal joining the first impermeable sheet of material to the permeable sheet of material at a common periphery, a pair of spaced apart intermittent seals joining the second impermeable sheet of material to the permeable sheet of material, a first inlet port opening through the first and second impermeable sheets of material to space between the second sheet of impermeable material and the sheet of permeable material, and a second inlet port opening through the first impermeable sheet of material to space between the first sheet of impermeable material and the sheet of permeable material between one of the intermittent seals and the continuous seal.
