Publication number: 20150335470Abstract: A warming device includes a clinical garment with a flexible inflatable convective apparatus integrated with or supported on a surface of the garment for warming one or more limbs when the apparatus is inflated with warmed air. The convective apparatus includes a central member, one or more peripheral diffusers, and one or more flexible ducts. In some cases, each duct connects a diffuser with the central member. One or more inlet ports are provided in the convective apparatus to receive the end of an air hose. The central member is inflatable in response to a flow of air through an inlet port. A peripheral diffuser is positioned on the clinical garment so as to be deployable to or near to an extremity such as a limb. When a peripheral diffuser is deployed while the central member is inflated with warmed air, the warmed air flows from the central member, through a duct to the peripheral diffuser and is emitted through an air-permeable wall of the diffuser to warm the extremity.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2013Publication date: November 26, 2015Inventors: Carol J. Panser, Albert P. Van Duren

Patent number: 8491645Abstract: A multifunction warming device for perioperative use includes a clinical garment and two convective warming apparatuses supported on an inside surface of the clinical garment. A first convective apparatus is disposed transversely in an upper portion of the clinical garment, running between sleeves of the clinical garment. The second convective apparatus is disposed longitudinally in a lower portion of the clinical garment and has separately inflatable sections, each for enabling a particular mode of warming.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2010Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Arizant Healthcare Inc.Inventors: Thomas P. Anderson, Shad N. Lindrud, Gary R. Maharaj, Carol J. Panser, Mark J. Scott, Teryl L. Woodwick Sides

Patent number: 8313519Abstract: A multifunction warming device includes a clinical garment having an inside surface supporting a convective apparatus disposed to provide therapeutic warming of a patient's upper body during surgery. The warming device includes a clinical garment with an elongate convective apparatus supported on the inside of the garment, transversely to the garment, and running between its sleeves. The positioning of the convective apparatus in the clinical garment locates it against the chest of a patient wearing the garment and permits it to be deployed and used on the patient's upper body during and after surgery without removal of the clinical garment from the patient or removal of the convective apparatus from the clinical garment.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2010Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Arizant Healthcare Inc.Inventors: Thomas P. Anderson, Shad N. Lindrud, Gary R. Maharaj, Carol J. Panser, Mark J. Scott, Teryl L. Woodwick Sides

Publication number: 20120116488Abstract: A warming device includes a clinical garment having an inside surface supporting one or more convective apparatuses disposed to warm a patient perioperatively. The warming device may include an upper body convective apparatus supported on the inside of the clinical garment between its sleeves. The construction of the upper body convective apparatus includes pulling elements that draw folded components of the apparatus from sleeves of the clinical garment when pulled. The warming device may include a multi-section convective apparatus disposed longitudinally in a lower portion of the clinical garment and having separately inflatable sections, each for enabling a particular mode of warming. The construction of the multi-section convective apparatus includes a therapeutic warming section with an inlet port positioned for convenient and safe access when the lower portion of the warming device is disposed to drape over the lower limbs of a person while the therapeutic warming section is being operated.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2011Publication date: May 10, 2012Applicant: Arizant Healthcare Inc.Inventors: Thomas P. Anderson, Carol J. Panser
