Definitions

  • Blanket assembly for use in operations in
  • the invention relates to a thermal blanket arrangement for use in operations in hospitals or the like, with a heat-storing blanket that can be covered over a patient.
  • the present invention was based on the object of providing a thermal blanket of the type mentioned at the outset, in which contamination of a conventional heat-storing blanket is largely prevented in a simple and inexpensive manner and this blanket can be reused over a longer period of time.
  • the object is achieved according to the invention in that the blanket is covered with a removable protective cover which has a liquid-impermeable material for the purpose of preventing the blanket from becoming dirty.
  • the protective cover is provided on the inside with a liquid-impermeable film layer and on the outside with a paper or fabric layer connected to this film layer.
  • This protective cover can therefore be manufactured very inexpensively and is therefore suitable for single use.
  • the paper layer very advantageously consists of an absorbent material similar to a flow paper, so that it can be used to apply the long liquids or liquid mixtures are completely absorbed and retained on the ceiling before continuing to flow.
  • FIG. 1 shows a top view of a schematically illustrated thermal blanket with a protective cover according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a side view of the protective cover shown in section and the cover shown in FIG. 1 therein

  • thermal blanket arrangement 10 with a blanket 11 containing at least one heating element, not shown in detail.
  • This thermal blanket arrangement 10 is used in particular for covering a patient, not shown in detail, during an operation. It covers the parts of the patient's body that are to be protected and thus prevent hypothermia.
  • the thermal blanket can be 1900 mm long and 500 mm wide.
  • An electrical connection cable 11 ' is also indicated from the ceiling 11 and can be connected to a power supply.
  • the ceiling 11 is covered with a removable protective cover 15, which consists of a liquid-impermeable material for the purpose of preventing the ceiling 11 from becoming dirty.
  • This protective cover 15 is provided on the inside with a liquid-impermeable film layer 15 "and on the outside with a paper or fabric layer 15 'connected to this film layer 15".
  • the paper layer 15 ' is made of an absorbent material similar to a flow paper, so that it absorbs the liquid or liquid mixture reaching the protective cover 15.
  • a pure cellulose is used for the paper layer 15 ', but poly-ethylene is advantageously used for the liquid-impermeable film layer 15 ". This combination of materials results in a protective cover which can be produced simply and inexpensively in the dry process.
  • the protective cover 15 expediently consists of two overlapping cover layers 16, 17, each of which has the paper layer 15 ′ on the outside and the film layer 15 ′′ on the inside. They are fastened to one another on the outer circumference by a closing seam 13, this being done by sewing or plastic welding or the like can take place.
  • an opening 19 through which the cover 11 can be placed or pushed into the protective cover 15.
  • This opening 19 is made on the long side of the protective cover 15.
  • the two sheath layers 16, 17 are connected to one another by seams 13 ', so that the cover 11 cannot easily fall out of the protective sheath 15.
  • the thermal blanket 10 When used in an operation, the thermal blanket 10 is arranged in such a way that the respective opening 19 in the protective cover 15 faces away from the location performing the operation.
  • FIG. 3 shows a variant of a heat blanket arrangement 20 which is configured in the same way as that of FIG. Therefore, only their differences are explained below.
  • This thermal blanket 20 is particularly suitable for covering the thighs and part of the abdomen of the person to be operated on.
  • the ceilings 21 are in turn covered with a removable protective cover 25, which is provided with a liquid-impermeable material for the purpose of preventing the ceilings 21 from becoming dirty.
  • This heat blanket arrangement 20 is in this case divided into two halves, which are connected to one another at one end of the long side by a connecting piece 28, so that a trouser shape results, in which each half can be placed on a thigh.
  • the closing seams 23 are U-shaped on the circumference of the respective half, so that on the side of the connecting piece 28 there is a corresponding opening 29 for the insertion of the ceiling 21, through which the electrical cable 11 also protrudes.
  • the invention is sufficiently demonstrated with the exemplary embodiments explained above.
  • Hesse there are other variations of Hesse.
  • the dimensions of the protective cover can be adapted to the blankets made in different sizes. These blankets can also be heated differently than electrically, for example by means of warm air, hot water or another heat source.
  • the protective cover according to the invention can of course be used for the various common types of blankets, such as an upper body blanket, a lower body blanket, a full body blanket or a baby blanket, each with a corresponding heater.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de couverture chauffante (10), destiné en particulier à un patient lors d'une opération chirurgicale, ce système comprenant au moins une couverture (11) comportant un élément chauffant. Ladite couverture (11) est recouverte d'une enveloppe de protection (15) amovible constituée d'une matière imperméable aux liquides. L'intérieur de cette enveloppe de protection (15) est constitué d'une couche mince (15'') imperméable aux liquides et l'extérieur est constitué de façon très avantageuse d'une couche de papier ou de tissu (15') reliée à cette couche mince (15''). Cette enveloppe de protection (15) permet d'empêcher que la couverture équipée de l'élément chauffant ne se salisse.
