Medicaid Services (CMS) has estimated that a Stage III or IV pressure ulcer
costs an additional $43,180 per hospital stay, and as of October 1, 2008,

• No disposables – with forced air systems, a disposable blanket
(costing $8 - $10) is thrown away after every procedure
• Improve OR turnaround time – simply disinfect the PerfecTemp
surface, and you’re ready for the next case
• Reusable pads – no need to maintain additional inventory
• Low energy use – save on your electric bill and reduce your
carbon footprint (see energy consumption on back cover).

Avoidance of
Pressure Ulcers
Easy to Use
Silent, conductive warming for all patients
PerfecTemp’s conductive warming is silent. And with no blowing hot air,
PerfecTemp creates a more comfortable environment for surgeons because it
doesn’t cause the room to heat up.
Several studies indicate that procedures longer than two and
one-half to three hours significantly increase the patient’s risk
for pressure ulcer formation. To combat this, positioning
