Product Overview

Hypothermia prevention is a core component of U.S. military trauma protocols, and the Ready Heat Blanket is the thermal management solution specified in the Hypothermia Prevention and Management Kit (HPMK) — making it one of the few hypothermia prevention products in the tactical medical space with the distinction of being carried by every U.S. Army Medic. This level of integration into military doctrine reflects the blanket's clinical validation for active warming of trauma casualties undergoing prehospital care and evacuation.

The Ready Heat blanket uses proprietary all-natural panel technology that activates upon contact with atmospheric oxygen when the oxygen-free sealed packaging is opened. The exothermic reaction heats the panels to 104°F (40°C) within 15–20 minutes and sustains that temperature for up to 10 hours — providing extended warming coverage through the prehospital, transport, and early hospital phases of care. The continuous, incremental warming profile prevents the thermal shock risks associated with rapid or uneven warming methods.

A unique feature of the Ready Heat is its high tensile strength: both the 4-panel and 6-panel versions can be used as emergency evacuation litters capable of supporting up to 250 lbs. This dual-function capability makes the Ready Heat one of the most versatile items in a medic's kit — providing warmth during care while serving as a patient movement option when a dedicated litter is unavailable. Hook-and-loop attachment points (8 inches) allow the blanket to be secured around extremities or positioned to warm specific body regions, including pre-warming arm tissue before IV placement in cold conditions.

All products sourced from the actual brand manufacturer or authorized master distributors. CoTCCC recommendation status verified where applicable. Ships from MED-TAC International, Pembroke Pines, FL — clinician-founded, veteran-led, SDVOSB-certified.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is the Ready Heat Blanket part of U.S. military medical protocol?

Yes. The Ready Heat Blanket is part of the U.S. military Hypothermia Prevention and Management Kit (HPMK) protocol. The 4-panel version (torso-sized) is carried by every U.S. Army Medic as part of standard issue medical equipment. Both the 4-panel and 6-panel versions are US military protocol for transport of wounded soldiers, and both have been approved for use on fixed-wing and rotary aircraft by the U.S. Military.

How does the Ready Heat Blanket activate?

The Ready Heat Blanket is sealed in an oxygen-free protective poly-bag. Opening the bag exposes the blanket's proprietary heating panels to atmospheric oxygen, triggering an exothermic chemical reaction using all-natural ingredients. No batteries, electricity, water, or chemical mixing is required. The blanket reaches 104°F (40°C) in 15–20 minutes and maintains that temperature for up to 10 hours.

Can the Ready Heat Blanket be used as an emergency litter?

Yes. Due to its high tensile strength, the Ready Heat Blanket (both 4-panel and 6-panel versions) can support a person weighing up to 250 lbs when used as an emergency evacuation litter. This dual-function capability makes it one of the most versatile individual medic items available — providing continuous warming during patient transport when no dedicated litter is available.

What is the shelf life of the Ready Heat Blanket?

The Ready Heat Blanket has a 5-year shelf life in its sealed oxygen-free packaging. Once the seal is broken, the activation process begins immediately and cannot be reversed. Each blanket should remain sealed until immediate patient application to preserve the full 10-hour warming duration.

How large is the Ready Heat 4-panel blanket?

The 4-panel Ready Heat Blanket measures 34 × 48 inches (86 × 122 cm) — a torso-sized blanket that covers the core body area (trunk and upper legs) prioritized for hypothermia prevention in trauma patients. The 4-panel (NSN 6532-01-525-4062) weighs 1.75 lbs. A full-body 6-panel version (34 × 60 inches) is also available for full-body coverage in more severe hypothermia cases.
