Retain up to 90% body heat with this compact foil blanket
Emergency foil blankets, sometimes known as space blankets or mylar blankets, are essential in first aid and emergency scenarios. Recognised by NASA and endorsed by the British Standard Regulations (BS-8599), these blankets are specifically designed to reflect up to 90% of body heat. Their waterproof and windproof capabilities provide optimal protection, making them a prime addition to any first aid kit.
Crafted from the advanced material, Kelvalite, which combines a polyester film with a vapourised metallic coating, these blankets ensure heat retention even in wet conditions, safeguarding the wearer against hypothermia. With the added benefit of being individually sealed in pocket-sized poly bags, they remain a compact and indispensable tool for emergency situations.
9 Reasons to Choose Steroplast's Foil Blanket
How to use the Foil Blanket
- Unpack with Care: Gently remove the foil blanket from its pocket-sized sachet. Ensure you handle it with care to avoid any tears or punctures.
- Open Fully: Unfold the blanket completely to maximise its size (1.4m x 2m).
- Wrap Around the Body: Drape the blanket around the individual, ensuring it covers them from the shoulders down to their feet. In colder environments, it's essential to ensure as much of the body is covered as possible to retain body heat effectively.
- Secure in Place: In windy conditions, ensure the blanket is secured around the individual, perhaps by tucking edges under arms or around the waist. This will prevent the wind from getting in and will maximise heat retention.
- For Additional Comfort: When necessary, combine with a warm fabric blanket for added comfort and insulation.
- Dispose After Use: Once you're safe and no longer in need of the blanket, fold it up and dispose of it responsibly. Remember, it's designed for single use to ensure effectiveness.
