EBME Forums Forums Maintenance Technical Assistance Patient Cooling Units for Theatre use - UK suppliers?

Does anybody know of any UK suppliers of patient cooling units for theatre use?

There seems to be a few patient warming units around, but I can't think of any current cooling units off the top of my head. We had some many years ago that involved the use of refrigeration units - but these were troublesome - nobody used the right water!

There must be somebody supplying units.

Thanks & regards, Mark

HAVE YOU TRIED ACTAMED, THE POLAR AIR 600.
FROM AUGUSTINE MEDICAL.

http://www.hawksley.co.uk/ have something that looks promising? under ripple

We use a Blanketrol from 'Cincinnati sub-zero' (love that name!).
Datex-Ohmeda are UK agents.
It works on ordinary water, but you'd need to check theatre suitability.

Gaymar, Jostra (tap water) and Stoeckert are other suppliers of fluid circulation devices. The new product from Actamed is believed to be the only cooling unit not using fluid - uses Peltier elements for cooling the air.

Hi All,
Just a note that Cincinnati sub-zero products are now sold a supported by Kimal (01895 270951).

Another thing to the long list of bits to service!

Scott.
