PetTherm can be used in most settings where prevention of hypothermia
in animals is required. The need for active warming during anaesthesia is well
established and has been shown to reduce infections and improve outcomes.
Warming during the pre-operative period and post-operatively can provide added
clinical benefit.
Operating Room
The PetTherm Operating Room Mattress allows the veterinary surgeon and
nurses full access to the animal, whilst maintaining patient core temperature.
The uniform heat transfer characteristics, combined with large contact area,
ensure the animal is warmed effectively. The products come in a range of sizes
and are X-Ray translucent. The system is inherently more reliable and requires
less maintenance than a water mattress. PetTherm uses Inditherm's patented
polymer technology to eliminate heating elements and thus avoids the risks
associated with traditional electric pads and blankets.
Recovery Areas
Inditherm's mattresses and pads are designed to prevent heat loss in the
vulnerable post-operative stage. They can also be used as a very cost effective
solution for preventing hypothermia and associated complications after surgery.
The products are durable and easily cleaned and by warming under the animal help
to keep them comfortable and calm. The pads and mattresses are available in
different sizes and can be adapted to suit different cages and kennels if
required.
Pre-operative Period
The onset of hypothermia often starts during the pre-operative period,
particularly if the animal is sedated, anaesthetised or placed on a cold table.
Early warming can help keep animals normothermic, preventing the many
complication that can otherwise arise. Reports from users suggest that the
comfort and warmth provided by the PetTherm mattresses and pads under conscious
pets helps to keep them calm and thus easier to handle, prepare and
treat.
