ASTOPAD® PATIENT WARMING SYSTEM
universal . modular . conductive
ASTOPAD: The flexible, conductive and reusable patient warming system is very economical, simple to operate and of great
clinical benefit. As the first module for the reduction of perioperative hypothermia, in routine use, ASTOPAD provides effective and
economical prevention for all surgical patients. It improves safety against negative side effects of operations and contributes to
the general well-being of the patient. It also provides prevention against decubitus when combined with a visco-elastic operating
table pad or ASTOGEL gel pad.

Hospital situations and solutions
The first module for perioperative hypothermia prophylaxis should always be the heated and soft positioning of the patient. The wide
range of ASTOPAD applied parts makes it possible to achieve optimal hypothermia and decubitus prophylaxis with every existing or new
operating table.
