Relevance . Maintaining the optimal temperature of the human body, as well as its timely warming at low ambient temperatures is one of the main tasks within first medical care. Intention . To present specifications of thermal products developed at Institute of Engineering Physics (Serpukhov city, Moscow region). Methodology . Innovative products for local heating based on metallized conductive filaments to maintain the temperature of the human body at low temperatures, including severe diseases and emergency situations. Results and Discussion . Specifications of thermal bags and blankets equipped with autonomous electric heating system and also autonomous heating system for infusion solutions are described. Similar characteristics of the products are as follows: high reliability, operational convenience and safety; materials that withstand repeated sanitary hygienic treatment without induction of static electricity; regulation of ambient temperature for heating with visual indication of operation; domestic materials, equipment and accessories; absolute fire safety, moisture and frost resistance of materials that do not emit toxic substances; power supply from rechargeable batteries; the battery charge time from the charger ≤ 7 1 / 2 hours. According to the pilot studies, thermal devices for autonomous heating of severely ill and injured are highly effective. Conclusion . The conclusion is made on the appropriateness and effectiveness of thermal devices for first aid and medical care at low temperatures for seriously ill and emergency affected employees of the Russian EMERCOM and personnel of emergency and disaster medicine teams of Russia.
