Patient Temperature Management
The framework for Patient Temperature Management starts on 19 August 2019, runs for 48 months and ends on 19 August 2023. This includes a 24 months extension.
Areas covered
This framework will offer a choice of brands for patient warming, cooling and temperature sensor products, with over 605 products from 27 suppliers.
Studies show that warming patients and maintaining a core temperature of 36ºC or higher helps improve outcomes by reducing the frequency of complications often associated with unintended hypothermia. Keeping patients warm throughout perioperative periods facilitates increased wound healing, more rapid recovery from anaesthetic, and a speedier return to normal mobility.
Cooling solutions are also available for maintaining the required body temperature.
There are five Lots on this new framework:
- Lot 1 – Forced air patient warming blankets
- Lot 2 – Blood and fluid warming equipment and consumables
- Lot 3 – Patient temperature management equipment
- Lot 4 – Patient temperature management consumables
- Lot 5 – Temperature sensors and probes
