Abstract :
Hypothermia and venous thrombosis can cause complications during perioperative and postoperative periods which can even be fatal to patientsʹ conditions. Separative devices have currently been used to prevent those two problems. The device proposed here is to combine in a simple unobtrusive fashion the desirable effects of both temperature control and deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis in perioperative patients. A design chart of the new device is provided and design issues are addressed.
