Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a sectional warming blanket for patient warming having a structure comprising a first layer of material forming a bottom layer with openings to allow a profusion of air through the bottom layer, a second layer of material forming an upper layer wherein the upper layer is coupled to the bottom layer via a plurality of seals to form a plurality of interconnected air passageways, and an inlet located on the upper or bottom layers. In an embodiment, the sectional warming blanket further comprises an opening configured to receive a coupling device for coupling the sectional warming blanket to an additional sectional warming blanket. In another embodiment, the sectional warming blanket further comprises at least one outline formed from a portion of the structure, such that a section can be removed from the blanket and the blanket is re-sealed by a bonding mechanism along its periphery.

Abstract:
At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature a combination, comprising: a garment, a configurable convective device, and an attachment device configured to attach the configurable convective device to the garment. The configurable convective device comprises a pneumatic structure having a first portion, a second portion, and an inflatable channel connecting the first portion and the second portion and at least one opening into the pneumatic structure. In some cases, the relative positions of the first portion and the second portion of the pneumatic structure can be rearranged.
Abstract:
At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature a garment having a first connection device, a connection mate configured to connect to the first connection device, and a second connection device proximate to the first connection device. The second connection device is configured to connect to the connection mate.
Abstract:
At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature a flexible duct for a convective device, comprising: an inflatable tubular structure in generally a tube shape when inflated comprising a flexible material and an air-guide device. The air-guide device is disposed on the tubular structure, where the air-guide device is configured to direct flow of inflation medium when the tubular structure is bent.
Abstract:
At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature a hose clamp to be used with a convective device. The hose clamp includes an encircling element having an inner surface and opposing outer surface, and a grabbing component extending from the encircling element, an engaging component disposed on or integrated with the encircling element and comprising a plurality of engaging elements
Abstract:
At least some aspects of the present disclose feature a flow control device to be used between two inflatable sections. The flow control device is a one-way flow control device allowing inflating medium to flow in one direction. In such embodiments, the flow control device is in an open state when a first inflatable section is inflated such that a second inflatable section is also inflated. The flow control device is in close state when the second inflatable section is inflated such that the first inflatable section is not inflated.
Abstract:
At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature a convective system, comprising: an inflatable convective device and a hose configured to connect to the inflatable convective device to an inflation medium source. The convective device has a pneumatic structure and an opening into the pneumatic structure, where at least part of the convective device is air permeable. The hose includes a nozzle configured to insert into the opening and a hindrance device disposed on the nozzle, where the hindrance device is configured to prevent the hose from slipping from the opening.
