Mediwrap® is a modern, non-woven textile combining man-made and
natural fibres. 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. It
is a low cost product that can be used in almost any
situation requiring a blanket.
The Mediwrap®
High Protection Blanket is used with the soft tissue side to
the patient and does not need to be used in conjunction with
any other blanket or material. |

The product is
wind and water resistant on the outside and highly absorbent
on the inside. Each blanket can absorb over ten times its
own weight of bodily fluids, leaving the patient warm and
dry.
The material acts as a total barrier to bacteria, protecting
staff and patients from cross infection.
It has been proven to be radiolucent, so that x-ray images
are unaffected, even if taken through two layers of Mediwrap. |
