Abstract
A passive rewarming article for use with traumatized individuals, e.g. those victims suffering from hypothermia, shock, or expsure is made from a closed-cell foam material. The preferred rewarming article comprises a body portion, at least one independent side flap, a foot flap, and a detachable head pocket. The rewarming article is enconomical to construct, yet provides high body heat retention capability under both wet and dry conditions.
