Blizzard 3-Layer Trauma Blanket – Large

Blizzard 3-Layer Trauma Blanket Orange

The Blizzard 3-Layer Trauma Blanket is the new standard in thermal protection for casualties.  This extra-large blanket wraps around a casualty and seals with a self-adhesive closure.  It can easily be re-opened for examination of the casualty or medical intervention.

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.

PHTLS says medics’ initial response to trauma cases should be: “After any immediate life-threatening issues are addressed, wet clothes should be replaced with dry clothes, if possible, and the casualty should be wrapped in a Blizzard Survival Blanket.”

It is often impractical to manoeuvre 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.
