HYPOTHERMIA CONTROL DEVICE FOR INFANTS

摘要

The present invention is directed to articles for decreasing heat loss from a human body, particularly a small child or an infant. In some embodiments, the articles are infant headwraps consisting essentially of one sheet of a non-woven, polymeric material containing a biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate material, with a plurality of flaps and fastening devices. Such articles described herein can be used to prevent hypothermia in small children and/or infants by decreasing radiant heat loss.

主权项
