Normothermia System
When it comes to proactive temperature management, degrees
matter. Even a small drop in core body temperature can result in
inadvertent perioperative hypothermia, a complication associated
with an increased risk of surgical site infection,
1,2
longer length of
stay,
3
and other costly, potentially deadly consequences.

Normothermia System allows clinicians
to help maintain normothermia before, during and after surgery.
The system includes:
• Convective air warming units, blankets, and gowns
• Non-invasive core temperature monitoring
