INTRAOPERATIVE WARMING - SAVE UP TO 50%

· Meet SCIP-Inf-10 guidelines by warming all patients intraoperatively, and save up to 50% on your warming budget.

COMPLETE PERIOPERATIVE WARMING - SAVE UP TO 75%

· Intraoperative warming does not prevent the 1.6°C redistribution temperature drop upon induction of anesthesia. In fact, historic forced-air data reveal that more than half of intraoperatively warmed patients are hypothermic upon admission to the recovery room. Complete perioperative warming is recommended to ensure patient normothermia.

· Only prewarming can ensure patient normothermia. HotDog perioperative warming can save 75% compared to disposable forced-air.

Prudence and Financial Sustainability

With new healthcare legislation, there is a lot of uncertainty in the medical market. But one thing is certain, 30 million more insured people means greater patient volumes in your facility. Also, now that SCIP and PQRI measures are being tied to quality ratings and Medicare reimbursement, facilities will see greater rates of warming. Increased patient volumes AND increased warming rates - as well as more comprehensive warming - have a compounding effect on your patient warming costs. Disposables will break the bank in this impending scenario. Reusable HotDog warming is the only way to meet the increased patient volumes and increased warming rates of the new healthcare paradigm and still save money.
