Here at Celtic Creatures we have two different types of thermal support for our patients. The importance when keeping patients warm or re-heating cold patients is to warm them at the right speed (not too fast or too slow). Some types of thermal support can get a little too warm for the patients and cause anywhere from discomfort to burns. Both of our thermal support devices are designed to provide a higher level of heat without causing discomfort or burns to the patient.
We have a circulating hot dog warmer blanket and a WarmTouch Convective Warming Unit. The hot dog warmer is an electrical warmer designed specificall with pets in mind. It alows technicians to set the temperature of the blanket to warm your pet faster, or keep their body temperature stable during a general anesthetic.
The WarmTouch Convective Warming Unit is a device that blows warmed air onto the patient. When paired with a blanket to keep the heat confined to the patient, this device works very well and quickly brings a patients temperature up to a safe and healthy level.
