Thermal Wrap

Ferno offers Mediwrap to protect patients from the elements. Made from a non-woven textile combining man-made and natural fibers, Mediwrap can be used instead of a blanket. The textile is produced from a high-bulk air-laid tissue laminated to a heat-reflective material by means of a unique non-toxic, non-latex bonding process. Mediwrap is wind- and water-resistant on the outside and highly absorbent inside. Each blanket can absorb over nine times its own weight in bodily fluids and acts as a barrier to bacteria, protecting against cross-infection. Call 800/733-3766, ext. 227.

Beutlich LP Pharmaceuticals’ Hurricaine topical anesthetic provides a combination of rapid onset, short duration and virtually no systemic absorption, which makes it an ideal choice for oral and nasal conscious intubation. Hurricaine is available in spray, spray kits and single-use liquid and gel tubes. For more information on the product and local distribution, call 800/238-8542, or visit www.beutlich.com.
