Calima warmer
Maintaining normothermia during surgery has never been so easy with Calima™* patient warming unit and our comprehensive portfolio of overbody and underbody warming blankets.
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).
