The thermal blanket has been developed to protect hypothermic
patients with a core temperature of less than 35°C, for trauma
patients and to prevent patients suffering from shock at the scene
of an accident.
The purpose of the blanket is to give rescue personnel a fast and effective
material for wrapping patients which increases their core temperature and
therefore the chances of survival for hypothermic patients.
As a professional paramedic, Finn Jensen has developed the Thorax
Thermal Blanket TM on the basis of the following requirements:
The blanket must be quick-acting and effective.
It must be durable.
It must be able to remain attached to the patient, even in bad weather conditions.
It must be easy to take off and put on again if further treatment is required.
It must be more effective at retaining body heat.
It must be ready for use.
It must be available in different sizes.
It must be made of disposable material.
It must remain wrapped around the patient if the patient is moved.
It must free up extra time for the paramedics to enable them to perform further treatment.
