Blizzard Trauma Emergency Blanket

Thermal shield; thick enough to be a re-usable “space blanket”; silver and O.D. green

The Blizzard 3 Layer Trauma Blanket

It provides the total warmth and weather protection associated with our Reflexcell™ material, reducing shock and guarding against the risk of hypothermia in all conditions. Reflexcell™ is 400% warmer than synthetic material blankets and 150% warmer than down-insulated garments and bags.

• Warmth: 7.5 Togs – equal to a medium weight regular sleeping bag.
• Weather protection: fully waterproof and windproof.
• Storage: blankets may be stored indefinitely, and are not affected by temperature or moisture, either during storage or in use.
• Portability: small packed size means the Blizzard Survival Blanket takes up very little room in a personal emergency pack or vehicle.
• Re-usability: blankets can be re-used many times without loss of performance.

Versatile & Effective

It is often impractical to maneuver an injured person in a sleeping bag, so some form of wrap around insulation must be used instead. The Blizzard Survival Blanket is first opened, then the casualty placed on top of it. The blanket can then be wrapped around and re-sealed using the self-adhesive closure provided, to give full thermal and weather protection.

The blanket contains 50% more material than the Blizzard Survival Bag, enabling it to protect all including those wearing thick clothing, life jackets etc. The self-adhesive closure works in cold and wet conditions, and can be opened and re-sealed many times

By carefully sealing the blanket to form a tube it can be used as a sleeping bag for one or two persons (particularly useful for re-warming chilled casualties). Carry a small roll of duct tape to help “sculpt” the blanket into any desired shape, reinforce holes, mend slight damage etc. The blanket can also be sealed around an ambulant casualty, affording them a high degree of protection, yet allowing them to walk. Arm holes can be cut if necessary.

Reflexcell ^® material’s cellular network traps warm air, the metalized surface reflects heat back to patient, and the hem cinch-cord prevents heat from escaping. The Blizzard Trauma Blanket is the number 1 choice of the US Army. Its compact package stows conveniently in your backpack or IFAK pouch.

Why Reflexcell™? Because one layer simply won’t do. Standard EMS blankets have one layer and are not designed to retain heat. They only slow heat loss and provide minimal thermal retention. Multiple blankets are often required to treat one patient. Our Reflexcell™ technology allows “one wrap” for total warmth and delivers the most effective thermal retention on the market. At the same weight and volume.

Advanced technology to regulate core body temperature: Other blankets cannot match the thermal retention properties of Reflexcell™. Originally designed to withstand blizzard conditions, low ambient air temperatures are no problem for this technology. Blizzard Survival products are the most effective and direct route for patient stabilization and the treatment of hypothermia caused by environmental exposure, traumatic injury causing blood loss, and other conditions affecting the body’s ability to regulate its core temperature.
