LAKE OSWEGO, Ore., Jan. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Lake Oswego,
Oregon based ThermoGear, Inc., partnered with DVM Solutions, San
Antonio, Texas, have announced the rollout of a new high technology
veterinary surgical system that took place at the recent North
American Veterinary Conference in Orlando, Florida. The
Chillbuster®VET Surgical Blanket and Cage Mat are called, “a
huge advancement in animal care” by noteworthy Veterinarians who
have been testing the system.
Mel Campf, President of ThermoGear, said, “The new
Chillbuster®VET system is a safe temperature controlled and
stabilized source of warmth for the pre-surgical, surgical and
post-surgical care of animals.” The warming system consists
of a surgical blanket, cage mat and single use disposable covers to
keep the surgical and post surgical area clean and contamination
free. DVM Solutions is marketing and selling the new system
in the U.S.
The Chillbuster®VET system contains technology developed by
ThermoGear into human warming devices used by U.S. military forces
based around the world. The idea of using FDA cleared and
Department of Defense approved warming technology for the
veterinary medical area has been widely discussed then developed
and thoroughly tested over a period of 18 months.
Well known Veterinarian, Dr. Tim Crowe, DVM, DAVS, DAVECC, FCCM
said, “I have been testing the Chillbuster®VET Surgical Blanket
and Cage Mat by ThermoGear for more than a year and have been very
impressed with the results. It is safe with no issues of
burns; the blanket has performed hands down better than any other
vet warming device available. It is easy to use, warms
rapidly and is extremely reliable. I can readily see why the
Chillbuster® human surgical warming blanket was selected by the
U.S. Department of Defense for use by our combat forces in the
Middle East.”
