Controlling normothermia saves lives
Introducing Hot Dog, the perioperative temperature control equipment without forced air.
Hypothermia problems
Hypothermia occurs when the patient loses heat faster than they can produce it and their body temperature drops below 35 °C. If left untreated, it can be life-threatening, among many other risk factors. Anesthesia causes vasodilation and a free flow of central blood to the peripheral compartments. The patient’s overall temperature drops 1.6˚C in the first 30min after induction.
Complications of hypothermia
- Increased wound infections.
- Increased blood loss.
- Increased ICU times and hospital stays.
- Increased transfusion requirements.
- Higher mortality rates.
The best way to avoid or reduce hypothermia is by pre-warming, specifically by pre-warming the legs. Hot Dog is versatile, efficient and effective. It is ideal for combating hypothermia in all kinds of surgeries. Find out how it helps to pre-warm your patient.
Hot Dog, the airless system
Introducing HotDog, the perioperative temperature control device without forced air. In multiple trials, HotDog has shown a normothermia rate of 96.2%.
Much more efficient than the traditional forced air system, more environmentally friendly and more cost-effective.
Composed of

Hot Dog Benefits
AIR-FREE
Avoids air contamination due to forced air heating.
More than 15 studies show that waste heat transports contaminants to the sterile field.
BETTER WARMING
Warms above and below the patient simultaneously, making it much more effective.
In multiple trials, Hot Dog has shown a normothermia rate of 96.2%.
ECO-FRIENDLY
Reusable
Uses 80% less energy compared to forced air systems and is 2.3 times more efficient.
COST EFFECTIVE
Reduces heating costs per patient by 10-50%.
Easy-to-implement solution offers immediate and long-term cost savings.
