The HALYARD* Patient Warming System is a computer-controlled, water-circulating, active warming system for thermoregulatory control that has proven effective in complex surgeries-including those with open cavities, large surface-area exposure, and in trauma. It has significantly outperformed conventional methods in achieving and maintaining intraoperative and residual body temperature.2
