Augustine Temperature Management -
HotDog Patient Warming System
The key to effective warming is surface area. HotDog is the
only patient warming technology that can warm from above
and below the patient at the same time, which offers
tremendous versatility and effectiveness. A recent study found
HotDog warmed significantly faster than forced-air warming
when all other relevant variables were held constant in a
prospective, randomized controlled trial. Over-the-body
blankets and underbody mattresses are warmed by a flexible,
semi-conductive polymer fabric that directs heat toward the
patient, not wastefully around the room, which is a proven
vector of contamination. Not only is HotDog effective and
air-free; it is reusable, making it easier on your budget and
the environment. Eliminate costly disposables and allow all
patients to receive the benefits of normothermia.

Bemis - Quick-Drain™
Quick-Drain™ Waste Management Systems provide safe and
cost-effective disposal of liquid infectious waste. Quick-Drain
satisfies OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogen Standard for removing
infectious waste risks in the workplace. Two separate systems
utilize both Bemis Hi-Flow Rigid Suction Canisters and Quick-
Fit™ Suction Liners. These systems quickly drain infectious
waste into the sanitary sewer at a rate of 500cc per second,
saving staff time. Quick-Drain saves money by reducing red
bag waste and eliminating per-use disposal costs such as
solidifiers and other disposables. It connects to existing
plumbing and requires no electricity. A version is available
to drain any large volume canister (12000cc or above).
