Description of the WarmCloud system
Kanmed WarmCloud is a pressure relieving closed circuit warm air patient warming system that is
designed to be used pre, per and post operatively. It is a highly efficient patient warming and
pressure relieving system and is particularly suitable for long surgical cases where the risk of
hypothermia and pressure sores is high.
Because the mattress is under the patient the warming and pressure support can begin
immediately and follow the patient into the OR room and into the post-operative area.
The WarmCloud system
consists of a soft warm air under body Mattress, and a Main Unit.
Optional hand-held wire connected Remote Control is also available. The Main Unit can be placed at
the head or foot end.
The Main Unit’s air hoses are connected to the disposable Mattress
. Once the
Mattress is pressurised, warm air will circulate under the patient in a closed system. To ensure an
even heat distribution the circulating air will change direction every 30 seconds.
