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.
