ThermaCor - Model 1200 - Rapid Infuser

Drs. Smisson and Cartledge developed their own rapid infuser known as the ThermaCor 1200 Infuser with two goals in mind.  First, make it quick and easy to set up and second, make it simple to operate.  Smisson-Cartledge Biomedical was formed, bringing together a team of experts to help them realize their goal.  The ThermaCor 1200 is the culmination of this team’s work to bring a faster, easier and safer rapid thermal infuser to the rapid infusion market for better patient care.

ThermaCor 1200 was born out of a belief that existing fluid infusion systems lacked the functionality and ease of use needed in a wide array of surgical environments. In a collaborative 10-year effort, Doctors Hugh Smisson and Richard Cartledge worked to develop a solution to this problem. The result is a portable, rugged, easy to use fluid infusion device capable of warming and infusing fluids at rapid rates and of sustaining patients in traumatic injury situations.

A REVOLUTION IN MEDICAL INFUSION SYSTEMS
The ThermaCor 1200 technology is ideally suited for use in a broad spectrum of medical procedures where heated fluid infusion is the key to successful patient outcome.

Neither microwave technology nor electromagnetic induction is utilized to heat blood while using the ThermaCor 1200. Safe and more natural dry thermal transfer technology is utilized to heat blood while using the ThermaCor 1200.

Procedures such as:

• Hypothermia Patients
• Resuscitation
• Cardiac Surgery
• Transplant Surgery
• Irrigation
• Urological Procedures
• Post Surgical Care
• Thoracic Surgery
• Major Aortic Aneurysms
• Plastic Surgery
• Cancer Treatment
• And More
