The Blizzard EMS Trauma rescue blanket<\/strong> is a two-layer rescue blanket for rescue teams and first aid kits. Elastic straps make the blanket fit closely to the body and form an insulating cocoon \u2013 it works well in extreme and survival situations.<\/p>\n

Reflexcell\u2122 material consists of layers with air cells and a metallised layer that reflects body heat back to the casualty. The blanket is 100% waterproof and windproof, and vacuum packing means it takes up little space. Blizzard blankets can be stored indefinitely \u2013 they are not affected by temperature changes or moisture. Size and weight may vary slightly due to the nature of the material.<\/p>\n

Unfolded, the blanket measures 230 \u00d7 156 cm and vacuum-packed 26 \u00d7 19 \u00d7 2 cm; it weighs 250 g. The Blizzard EMS Trauma rescue blanket<\/strong> is worth having in your first aid kit, backpack and car.<\/p>\n

Why the Blizzard EMS Trauma rescue blanket?<\/h2>\n

A cocoon with elastic straps retains heat better than a blanket that slips off when the casualty is moved. Despite its large unfolded size, the blanket fits in a flat package. The Blizzard EMS Trauma rescue blanket<\/strong> also protects the casualty from rain and wind.<\/p>\n

A smaller blanket for the upper body is the Blizzard Compact Trauma<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hypothermia after injury \u2013 how to prevent it?<\/h2>\n

An injured casualty loses heat faster than you think \u2013 even in summer, on wet grass or in a draught. Hypothermia impairs blood clotting and worsens shock. Insulate the casualty from the ground, remove wet clothing if possible and wrap them tightly in the blanket, including around the neck and head. Call for help on 112 \u2013 action taken by a bystander can decide whether the casualty survives.<\/p>\n
