Patent ID: 7959658

Claim:
A portable heating system for treating a person suffering hypothermia at a site absent available electrical power comprising: a covering having an under cover portion and an over cover portion, said under and over cover portions having multiple matable fasteners strategically and cooperatively arranged to aid in at least partial encasement of a person's torso with the person's head and the major portion of the person's limbs protruded from the covering; said matable fasteners extended along one or more sides of said person's torso and individually releasable to permit selected exposure of the person's torso as may be desirable for treatment of an injury; said under cover portion and said over cover portion having electrically induced controllable heating zones wherein primary heating zones are in the over cover portion and secondary heating zones are in the under cover portion, and wherein electrical input is converted into heat with the heating temperature substantially greater in the primary heating zones to enable optimizing the body surface uptake of applied heat per unit output of a portable battery; said under and over cover portions adapted for battery generated power input for generating selective and proportionate heating to said electrically induced controllable heating zones; and further including the portable battery for providing said battery generated power input, said combination of battery and under and over cover portions designed for enabling manual transport to a remote location and thereat for maintaining and restoring normothermia during preparation, staging and transport from the remote location to a relevant medical facility.
