          Survival Blankets and Warming Blankets - Saving your life in an emergency

          Today, the survival blanket is an essential part of any first aid kit. Originally developed for aerospace flights to protect astronauts and space probes from radiation, it is an integral part of the first aid kit. The survival blanket is one of the most important tools in the rescue of the injured and protects patients from hypothermia or overheating. On the DocCheck store, you can buy in a few clicks classic gold and silver coated survival blankets as well as cosier heated blankets.

          Survival blanket - Function and use

          The survival blanket is actually a large tarp that is placed around the patient to transport and stabilize his temperature and protect him from hypothermia, moisture and wind. The typical first aid blanket is usually made up of two layers that are firmly connected to each other, one gold and the other silver. Thanks to these two different sides, the survival blanket offers both protection against cold and protection against heat. Which side is best placed upwards and which downwards?

          In case of risk of hypothermia

          To keep warm in bad weather and avoid the risk of hypothermia, you should place the silver side of the survival blanket towards your body. The silver inner side reflects heat radiation, while the gold outer side absorbs heat. However, the survival blanket has no thermal insulation function, it only warms by reflecting body heat radiation. In order for the survival blanket to fulfill its insulating function, it should not be too tight and should be supplemented with additional insulation against the cold ground. For a layer of warmth under the first aid blanket, thermal blankets can be used in addition to clothing to provide warmth and comfort.

          If there is a risk of overheating

          To protect against the sun in case of very strong sunlight, the silver side of the survival blanket can be used as the outer side to reflect the light rays. In this case, the gold side of the survival blanket is placed against the body, but it is only slightly stretched and used as a kind of shadow screen.

          Buy your survival blanket on the DocCheck store

          Because of their versatile and simple use, survival blankets are indispensable in rescue services and for emergency physicians. They should not be missing in any first aid equipment. So buy yours from the DocCheck store at absolutely fair prices in just a few clicks.
