Belmont
Warm fluid. Close to the patient.
The buddy lite warms blood and IV fluids in line, with the heater sitting less than 15 cm (6 in) from the patient to reduce line cool-down. One battery charge warms up to 4.4 litres from 20 °C to 38 ± 2 °C, and single-button operation keeps attention on the patient. A microporous membrane in the disposable set removes air automatically. The complete system weighs about 0.73 kg and is approved for ground and helicopter transport.
Key specifications
Why the buddy lite
Warmth at the cannula
The heater sits within 15 cm of the patient, so fluid has little line in which to cool before it is infused.
4.4 litres per charge
One battery charge warms up to 4.4 litres from 20 °C to 38 ± 2 °C. An AC-powered version is available for continuous use.
Air out, automatically
The disposable set has a microporous venting membrane, a one-way valve against backflow and a pressure-regulating valve.
Fits in a response bag
At about 0.73 kg for heater, battery and housing, the system packs into a medical bag or a dedicated canvas pouch.
Where it is used
Military and tactical medicine, ground ambulances and air medical helicopters, emergency departments, remote and ski patrol care.
