Body Warmers — Effective Hypothermia Prevention

The winter season significantly increases the risk of hypothermia, especially for people whose work involves prolonged exposure to the outdoors. The issue of protection against hypothermia is particularly relevant for servicemen who are on duty in military units and directly on the front lines. To reduce the risks of hypothermia and enhance the combat readiness of soldiers, Shower Pack store offers body warmers for purchase in Ukraine.

What is hypothermia, and why is it dangerous?

Hypothermia refers to a decrease in body temperature to 34-35 degrees Celsius or lower. A critical drop in body temperature to 23 degrees leads to a lethal outcome. Even in the initial stages of hypothermia, a person may experience confusion as cognitive function gradually slows down. This is why individuals who spend extended periods in cold conditions may not critically assess their condition. It may seem like they are just slightly cold while their body temperature continues to drop steadily.

In the initial stage of hypothermia, intense shivering occurs as the body attempts to generate heat. However, when the body temperature drops to 30 degrees, shivering stops, and further temperature reduction becomes more intense. Simultaneously, dysfunction of the nervous system progresses, leading to symptoms such as:

• Lethargy
• Clumsiness
• Irritability
• Confused consciousness

In the severe stage of hypothermia, a coma occurs, and breathing and heartbeat gradually slow down and stop.

How to provide first aid for hypothermia?

For military personnel and tourists who spend extended periods in winter conditions, it is crucial to know the basics of hypothermia assistance. A person showing signs of hypothermia should not be rubbed with snow or brought into a warm room. Instead, it is best to place them in a moderately warm environment (a medevac unit is optimal).

If clothing is wet or damp, it should be removed, and the person should be covered with a warm blanket (preferably a thermal blanket) or provided with a body warmer or another source of heat. In cases of severe hypothermia, the individual should be transported to a hospital or paramedics should be called.

Preventing Hypothermia

It is best to prevent hypothermia rather than deal with its consequences. To do this, you need to choose clothing that follows the principle of three layers:

1. The base layer should wick moisture away from the skin.
2. The middle layer retains heat.
3. The protective layer prevents moisture from penetrating inside.

It is also essential to actively generate warmth by consuming high-calorie food and warm drinks (from a thermos). Disposable body warmers also fall into the category of active heat sources.

Advantages and Differences of Body Warmers

Shower Pack offers body warmers from brands like HAAGO and Take Hot. The composition and principle of operation of these warmers are roughly similar. A body warmer is a small pouch containing a mixture of iron powder, activated charcoal, vermiculite, water, and salt. The composition of warmers from different brands may vary slightly.

When the iron powder comes into contact with oxygen, it triggers an exothermic reaction, releasing significant heat. Salt acts as a catalyst, and activated charcoal helps disperse the heat. In just a few minutes, the body warmer heats up to 40 degrees Celsius and can maintain this temperature for 8-10 hours. This ability is achieved thanks to vermiculite, which acts as an insulator.

How to use disposable body warmers:

1. Open the packaging, remove the body warmer, and wait a few minutes for it to activate.
2. Remove the protective film and attach the body warmer to the inner layer of clothing, ensuring it adheres to the base layer of clothing.
3. After use, dispose of the body warmer as household waste.

Shower Pack store offers competitive prices for body warmers, and you can also place wholesale orders for military units.
