SoftTemp is made of flexible materials. They are single-patient use blankets are soft to the touch and conform very well to irregular shapes. They are lightweight and remain soft at low temperatures. Water flow will not pinch-off even if the pads are folded. The unique pinwheel pattern directs water in hundreds of directions to ensure good performance. SoftTemp will not make or leave indentations on the skin. Our clever pin-wheel design ensures unrestricted water flow and an even dispersion of the patient weight; thus reducing the likelihood of irritations at boney prominences. The internal pressures of our blankets and pads are also very low (usually 3 to 5 psi). The unique design and soft materials allow our blankets to contour easily to irregular surfaces and literally drape over a patient’s body. SoftTemp blankets are also latex free and safe to use in direct contact with the patient’s skin. Gel mats may be used, but we don’t recommend putting them between the patient and the blanket as it could hamper heat-transfer.
