Are you a manufacturer of patient warming systems in the medical sector and need a radiolucent, safe and flexible technology?
Embro manufactures the required heating elements or heat mats in series production – using embroidery technology and carbon fibers.

Radiolucent warming systems for patients are particularly suitable for areas such as radiology, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other imaging procedures where a constant and comfortable temperature is important for the patient.
At the same time, the quality of diagnostic imaging is not impaired.

Radiolucent patient warming systems: cost-effective and safe

Our cost-effective heating elements effectively prevent hypothermia in patients, which can shorten hospital stays, improve bed turnaround times and reduce hospital operating costs.

The integrated safety functions provide constant temperature monitoring and prevent overheating.
Safety also benefits from operation with a low voltage of 24V.

Patient warming systems: protection against hypothermia

Patient warming systems are used when passive heat retention is no longer sufficient. These actively warm the patient from the outside – from above and below as required – and thus prevent hypothermia or hypothermia. Hypothermia is a life-threatening drop in body temperature below 35 °C (95.0 °F).

Advantages of carbon-based patient warming systems

✔ Flexible and radiolucent: Carbon or carbon fibers offer high thermal conductivity and flexibility, they are lightweight and radiolucent.
This means that no significant shadows or artifacts are caused on the X-ray images.

✔ Achieve normothermia quickly: the heat mats can be heated to the desired target temperature within a few minutes.
Heating takes place evenly without hotspots.

✔ Various sizes and shapes: Our heat mats can be produced in different sizes and shapes to meet all requirements.
These include smaller elements for the head, as a heating blanket for the whole body or as an entire mattress.

✔ No background noise in the operating theater: The conductive patient warming system has no background noise, which is particularly advantageous in the operating theater, where full concentration is required.
They also offer reduced heat loss compared to convective warming systems.

✔ Mobile systems possible: Mobile heating systems can be implemented on request, which are primarily used during patient transfers.
Powered by a rechargeable battery, they offer greater mobility and flexibility.

Areas of application for patient warming systems

The areas of application for patient warming systems are diverse.
They are used wherever people or animals need warmth.
X-ray-permeable warming systems with carbon fibers in particular offer decisive advantages.

Radiology and imaging: Ensuring patient comfort during X-ray, CT and MRI examinations.
The radiolucent carbon fibers do not impair diagnostic imaging.

Operating theatres: maintaining the patient’s temperature during surgical procedures to reduce the risk of complications due to hypothermia.
The radiolucent heat mats allow images to be taken during an operation.

✔ Ambulances and mobile medical facilities: Ensuring patient comfort during transportation or in mobile medical units.
Mobile advantages, such as battery operation, allow the patient to be examined directly in the radiology department.

✔ Post-operative care: Supporting the thermoregulation of patients after operations, which promotes recovery.

✔ Intensive care units: Providing a constant heat source for critically ill patients to maintain a stable body temperature.

✔ Rehabilitation and physiotherapy: Use in therapeutic applications to relieve pain and support healing in the case of injuries or chronic illnesses.

✔ Emergency rooms: Rapid heat supply for patients who are admitted with hypothermia to enable immediate stabilization.

✔ Neonatology: Use in incubators or warming systems for newborns to ensure a constant and safe ambient temperature.

✔ Dialysis centers: Providing warmth for patients during long dialysis sessions to increase comfort and well-being.

✔ Long-term care facilities: Supporting thermal regulation for elderly or bedridden patients to improve their comfort and health.
