Abstract

A warming device includes a clinical garment having an inside surface supporting a convective apparatus with multiple separately inflatable sections, each adapted to enable a particular mode of warming.

Claims (26)

1. A warming device, comprising:

a clinical garment with an inside surface;

a convective apparatus supported on the inside surface;

the convective apparatus including a first, dog-bone shaped section with at least one inlet port to provide comfort warming by convection and a second section framing the dog-bone shaped section with at least two inlet ports to provide therapeutic warming by convection.

2. The warming device of claim 1 , wherein the first and second sections are separately inflatable and each includes a permeable surface facing the interior of the clinical garment.

3. The warming device of claim 2 , wherein the first section includes one inlet port.

4. The warming device of claim 3 , wherein the second section includes two inlet ports.

5. The warming device of claim 4 , wherein the inlet port of the first section having a dimension to accept a warming hose nozzle of a first diameter and the two inlet ports of the second section having dimensions to accept a warming hose nozzle of a second diameter larger than the first diameter.

6. The warming device of claim 5 , further including means for securing the convective apparatus to a person.

7. The warming device of claim 6 , wherein the means include double-sided adhesive.

8. The warming device of claim 1 , further including an aperture in the clinical garment to the inlet port of the first section.

9. The warming device of claim 8 , further including respective apertures in the clinical gown to the two inlet ports of the second section.

10. The warming device of claim 1 , further including a portion of at least one sleeve of the clinical garment separable from a corresponding portion of the sleeve and means for releasably joining the sleeve portions.

11. A warming device, comprising:

a clinical garment with an inside surface;

a rectangular convective apparatus supported on the inside surface; and

the convective apparatus including separately-inflatable sections, a first section having upper and lower transverse parts, an elongate part joining the transverse parts, and an inlet port, and a second section framing the first section and having two inlet ports.

12. The warming device of claim 11 , wherein each section includes a permeable surface facing the interior of the clinical garment.

13. The warming device of claim 12 , wherein the first section has a dog bone shape.

14. The warming device of claim 13 , wherein the inlet port of the first section having a dimension to accept a warming hose nozzle of a first diameter and the two inlet ports of the second section having dimensions to accept a warming hose nozzle of a second diameter larger than the first diameter.

15. The warming device of claim 14 further including an aperture in the clinical garment to the inlet port of the first section.

16. The warming device of claim 15 , further including respective apertures in the clinical gown to the two inlet ports of the second section.

17. The warming device of claim 14 , further including means for securing the convective apparatus to a person.

18. The warming device of claim 17 , wherein the means for securing include double-sided adhesive.

19. The warming device of claim 16 , wherein each inflatable includes a permeable surface facing the interior of the clinical garment.

20. The warming device of claim 19 , wherein the clinical garment includes a reclosable slit.
