SpaceDrapes™
SpaceDrapes™ are a patent-pending product that provide heat-retention
capabilities while doubling as surgical drapes. They decrease recovery
time and improve recovery prospect for animals that are under
anesthesia by reducing radiant heat loss. They can be fenestrated and
used like standard drapes. They come pre-packaged and pre-sterilized,
as well as in rolls that can be sterilized by the user.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can
SpaceDrapes™ be sterilized?
- Currently,
SpaceDrapes™ have been tested with ETO (ethylene oxide) sterilization.
They are available in non-sterile rolls, or in packages that have
already been ETO sterilized. SpaceDrapes™ cannot be autoclaved. Other
methods of sterilization are currently being tested.
Should
SpaceDrapes™ be used with other heat production/retention devices?
- SpaceDrapes™
provide effective heat retention on their own, but using them in
conjunction with other heat production/retention devices, such as
heating blankets, heating tables, or SpaceGels™ heating pads can
further improve the effect.
Have
SpaceDrapes™ been tested for effectiveness?
- Preliminary
tests have shown that SpaceDrapes™ do provide a measurable reduction of
heat loss when used on animals under anesthesia, but no studies have
been published yet with this information. Because every product works
differently in different environments, we suggest users purchase and
test SpaceDrapes™ to see if this product will work for them.
Can
I see SpaceDrapes™ in use?
- We
will soon include a section on our website that demonstrates several possible
uses for SpaceDrapes™.
Can
I reuse SpaceDrapes™?
- SpaceDrapes™
can be used in a similar fashion to standard surgical drapes. In cases
that you reuse a standard surgical drape, you can reuse a SpaceDrapes™
(see above for information on sterilization).
