During emergencies or accidents, body temperature can drop or rise rapidly, which entails serious health risks. The unpredictable outdoor climate or a long wait after an incident makes the body vulnerable to hypothermia or overheating. The Heltiq Insulation Blanket offers you the certainty of an immediately deployable protective layer that regulates vital body heat and provides stability when every second counts.
- Double-sided functionality protects against both extreme cold and intense heat.
- Compact packaging makes it easy to carry the blanket in a sports bag, car or first aid kit.
- Generous dimensions of 210 x 160 cm ensure full body coverage of the victim.
- Made of high-quality aluminium foil that effectively reflects body heat or blocks sunlight.
How it works
The operation of this rescue blanket is based on the reflective properties of aluminium foil. By pointing the silver side towards the body, the body's own heat is reflected back to delay hypothermia. Conversely, the gold side on the outside reflects sunlight, while the silver side on the inside helps to keep the body's heat away in case of overheating. This simple but effective principle is a standard within professional emergency services.

Use & Dosage
In case of overheating: Lay the victim down in a cool environment. Wrap the victim immediately in the insulation blanket with the silver-coloured side facing out. In case of hypothermia: Protect the victim from the wind and keep the person lying down. Wrap the person immediately in the insulation blanket with the gold-coloured side facing out to prevent further cooling. The blanket can also be placed over a vehicle to protect occupants from the sun.
