For emergency situations where managing exposure and shock is a priority, the St John Ambulance Heat Retaining Blanket is a compact and reliable solution. This disposable foil blanket is an essential to any first aid kit, designed to provide immediate thermal insulation for adult patients.
Measuring at a generous 204cm x 140cm, the blanket is crafted from a strong, lightweight metallised polyester film. This means that it can reflect over 90% of a patient's own body heat back towards them, effectively helping to prevent and manage hypothermia. And, with its waterproof construction, it will protect against the cold, wind, rain and heat. The blanket is also latex-free, ensuring it is safe for use with individuals who have allergies.
Individually wrapped in a pocket-sized sachet, it is highly portable for emergency services, outdoor enthusiasts, or for keeping in a car or home first aid kit. Fully certified with both CE and UKCA marks, this product meets the high standards for safety, health, and environmental protection required in the UK.
