Patient heating support for use during e.g. medical analysis, has heating element that is formed by carbon fleece, where heating element is folded in integrated condition with respect to manufactured condition

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The support (7) has a heating mat or a heating cover (8) made of a heat insulating material, and a heating element (1) integrated in the mat or cover. The heating element is formed by a carbon fleece, where the heating element is folded in an integrated condition with respect to a manufactured condition. A set of temperature sensors (3) is provided in a temperature measuring area over which layers of heat insulating materials are arranged. The sensors and the layers of materials are integrated in the mat or cover. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Patient heating support for use during medical analysis, operation and/or monitoring of a patient in an intensive care unit. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The heating element is formed by the carbon fleece, where the heating element is folded in the integrated condition with respect to the manufactured condition, thus facilitating handling of the support and avoiding disturbance during usage of imaging diagnostic procedures. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a side view of a heating element of a heating support in an unfolded condition. 1 : Heating element 2 : Metal filament 3 : Temperature sensors 7 : Patient heating support 8 : Heating cover 9 : Electrical insulating layer.
