Inditherm's patient warming products are based on their patented carbon polymer technology. This provides a completely uniform conductive heating surface, which is extremely flexible and is powered at low voltage. There are no heating "elements", so warming is completely even, avoiding hot and cold spots and allowing much better heat transfer.

The UK’s National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) clinical guideline 65 ‘Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia’ recommends active intraoperative warming for all patients undergoing anaesthesia for longer than 30 minutes and for patients at higher risk of hypothermia undergoing anaesthesia for less than 30 minutes.
New medical technology guidance from NICE has been published which supports the use of Inditherm patient warming systems.
