Abstract: A warming blanket (8) has a metalized fabric exterior layer and a heating element formed from a random fiber carbon veil material (52). A conductive ink layer (56) is deposited onto opposite side edges of the carbon veil material as side rails. Lower conductive strips (58) are attached onto a bottom edge of the carbon veil material. Each lower conductive strip is electrically coupled to a side rail. The lower conductive strips have connecting ends (60) which are spaced from each other so as to accept a connection circuit board. Side conductive strips (62) are coupled to the conductive ink side rails. Electrical current controlled by the connection circuit board is passed through the carbon veil material to create heat.

Abstract: There is disclosed a warming blanket having a metalized fabric exterior layer and an interior heating element made of a carbon fiber mat or carbon veil. The warming blanket includes electrodes that are formed of a conductive ink which extends through the width of the carbon veil.

Abstract: There is disclosed a heating device which is adapted to be used to warm medical solutions contained within medical devices such as an intravenous bag, intravenous tube or respiratory circuit. The heating device includes a metalized fabric having a first layer of clear thermoplastic material, the second layer of vaporized aluminum material, a third layer of thermoplastic material, and a fourth layer of lofted billow spunbond thermoplastic, non-woven material. The heating device is in the form of a generally tubular sleeve forming an IV line channel therein through which the medical device.

Abstract: There is disclosed a warming blanket (8) having a metalized fabric exterior layer and a heating element (23). The heating element is formed from electrically conductive metal ink. The warming blanket also has a electrically insulative fabric or layer (18) which diffuses the heat produced by the heating element.
