The Meditherm 7912 from Gaymar in the USA, is a very easy to use machine that improves patient care, by allowing precise control by the clinician/nurse over cooling or re warming rates in patients.

Clinicians in the USA were recently asked how patients could be better treated after a cardiac arrest, stroke, head injury, septic shock or other illness or insult that requires initial cooling for a period, then re warming. The feedback was that better control was required!  

Clinicians asked for better control in cooling their patients and then with better control, in the most cases, a more gradual, kinder, re warming phase for their patients, one that made sure all of the good work in the 24 hour cooling phase wasn't then lost with a too quick a re warming phase! The Meditherm 7912, can quickly or gradually cool a patient from 37 deg°C or more to 33-34 deg°C in less than 30 - 40 minutes. The Meditherm 7912 can then maintain the desired patient temperature, then increase it either gradually or very gradually, after the period of therapeutic cooling! This gradual process may decrease shivering and re bound hyperthermia. A gradual re warming time of 16-24 hrs is recommended, which equates to a 0.17 deg°C increase in the patient's temperature, per hour! Simply dial in the new desired temperature and press the tortoise, not the hare!

The Meditherm 7912 uses no expensive disposable components! The Meditherm 7912 uses a re usable, random flow, water mattress that sits below the patient. If finer control is needed a shorter mattress can also be run in tandem on the top of the patient. If the patient needs constant re positioning then our single patient use water vest is recommended as an economical option.

If you require an inexpensive disposable mattress, then these are also available and in stock. We do not stock a head wrap as these are clinically unproven.
