STERIS Patient Warming System
- Supports efforts to reduce perioperative hypothermia
- Durable, reusable heating system integrated into the surgical table mattress pads
- Uses conductive, not convective, heat transfer through direct contact with the patient
- Compact design, seamless operating room (OR) footprint, quiet operation & no blowing air
- Provides heat to the patient before, during, or after procedures in the operating room
How the STERIS Patient Warming System Works
- Patient Temperature Management – The heated surgical table pad means the patient is warmed from the moment of transfer to the surgical table
- Conductive, Not Convective – Conductive heat transfer is through direct contact between the patient and the surgical table pad and the overbody blanket
- Compact Design – A small controller can be mounted to the table side rail or IV pole close to anesthesia. Cables are thin and easy to connect. The durable overbody blanket minimizes bulk, which can be a nuisance during use.
Why the STERIS Patient Warming System?
The STERIS Patient Warming System is an Air-Free heating system that uses conductive heat transfer, transferring heat through direct contact with the surgical table pad or the warming blanket. Studies have shown that forced-air warming generates airflows and convective currents in the vicinity of the surgical site, which may disrupt ventilation airflow intended to clear airborne contaminants from the surgical site.3
Perioperative hypothermia prevention involves minimizing or eliminating the decline in core temperature before, during, and immediately after anesthesia induction.1 Patients having shorter surgeries are more likely to experience postoperative hypothermia because there is simply not enough time to overcome the effect of redistribution with intraoperative warming alone.2 The active warming device should be started as soon as possible when the patient arrives and prior to induction of anesthesia.1
Why the STERIS Patient Warming System Makes Economic Sense?
Lowering the cost of maintaining patient normothermia offers clear benefits for both caregivers and patients. The STERIS Patient Warming System delivers these benefits through a durable, reusable design that provides long-term value.
Unlike common single‑use warming products, the STERIS system is engineered for a five-year usable life. While the mattress pads typically need replacement only once during that period—after about 2–3 years—the core system continues to perform reliably throughout its lifespan.
When the total cost of ownership is compared to that of disposable patient‑warming products, the financial advantages are significant. By reducing dependency on single‑use items, hospitals can dramatically cut recurring supply expenses. As a result, the STERIS Patient Warming System offers a much higher return on investment and helps drive down overall healthcare costs for both providers and patients.
Better Return over 5 years
The cost of maintaining normothermia in the OR with gentle conductive heat is lower than you might think. Compare the cost of a basic set up using the STERIS Patient Warming System to that of a competitor's convective forced air warming system.
