OVERVIEW

Temperature management is an important component of perioperative patient safety and comfort. Maintaining perioperative normothermia is important to ensure that a patient does not experience inadvertent hypothermia and its consequences, such as increased blood loss, cardiac abnormalities, prolonged recovery, and increased risk for wound infection.¹ Unwarmed patients can lose up to 1.6°C during the first hour under general anaesthesia, as they are unable to regulate their temperature.²

Forced air warming has proven to be one of the most effective methods of warming a patient to maintain normothermic temperatures and prevent the complications associated with hypothermia⁴,⁵. Now maintaining normothermia has never been so easy with the Calima™* patient warming system and its comprehensive portfolio of overbody and underbody warming blankets — including the WarmTouch™ blankets.

With the Calima™ warming system, normothermic delivery (37°C) occurs in less than 1 minute!⁴,⁶ It is suitable for multiple medical settings, including the operating room (OR), post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU), and intensive care unit (ICU).

Features

The Calima™* convective forced-air patient warming unit can be applied during surgery when your patient is under general anaesthesia. This warming system is versatile, compact, secure, and user-friendly.³ It offers:

  • Three fan speeds and four temperature settings to optimize performance, match power to clinical requirements, and ensure noise levels are kept to a minimum³
  • A small and lightweight design to make it easy to set up, move, and stabilize when mounted on a cart, IV pole, or next to the patient³
  • A built-in mechanism to help ensure accurate temperature control³
  • An easy to use and maintain control panel³
  • A light and flexible hose with a secure clip connector making it easy to connect to the blanket³
  • Compatibility with WarmTouch™ blanket range.
