Hypothermia is a constant risk for the small animal veterinary patient and can seriously affect clinical outcomes and patient welfare. The Knight Benedikt Patient Warming and Cooling System circulates water through a flexible vinyl pad at 50 litres/hour. This allows the user to have excellent control of temperature and eliminates the risks of skin burns. Robust construction allows the pads to be used in all areas of the clinic.

The specific unit involved has since been tested and there was no evidence of malfunction. However, these units are capable of heating to 48 degrees Celsius. This can be useful when trying to warm patients quickly, but mammalian tissues can only survive within a narrow temperature range between 20C and 44C (Wohlsein et al., 2016). Any extended exposure to temperatures above this range can lead to pathological changes. We therefore recommend the following precautions when using this unit:Always place a towel or a similar barrier between the patient and the water matNever leave a patient on the water mat for more than 15 minutes for temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius.
