  • Patent number: 11583639
    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 an elongated flexible material tube having an interior medical solution channel and a pair of heat channels. The heat channels are filled or coated with a flexible, electrically conductive substance, which forms an electrical resistor. The conductive substance is electrically coupled to an electric power source controller. Electric current passing through the conductive substance creates heat which is transferred from the heat channels to the medical solution contained within the interior medical solution channel.

  • Publication number: 20220218917
    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.

  • Publication number: 20220079273
    Abstract: A medical gown has a front side extending to a back side which in combination forms a body covering which covers at least an upper portion of a medical personnel wearing color coded scrubs. The medical gown is made of an untinted, un-colored, clear, transparent, or translucent thermoplastic. Alternatively, the medical gown may include a clear or transparent window.

  • Patent number: 10805988
    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.
