The hypo- and hyperthermia treatment devices HICO-VARIOTHERM 550 and 555 as well as HICO-AQUATHERM 660, combined with suitable HICO multi-use water pads, allow user-friendly and efficient control of your patients‘ temperature – both in perioperative patient warming and in patient cooling, e.g. after resuscitation. Via surface contact with the radiolucent HICO water pads the patient‘s desired body temperature can be precisely controlled. Due to its good thermal conductivity, water is an ideal medium for the effective and safe transfer of heat and cold.
