Who we are
Care Essentials has specialised in temperature management since its establishment in 1996 and has set a benchmark for excellence. Whilst little has changed in competitive products in this field, Care Essentials have looked at patient warming from both the clinical and engineering aspects. The development of the Micro Pore system for the delivery of air gives a constant airflow, thereby giving uniform distribution of warm air across the patient. We have named our products Cocoons as we believe they provide a warm cocooning effect when they are used.
