LESS® Ambulance Blankets

LESS Ambulansetepper are standard equipment for prehospital hypothermia prevention, commonly used in combination with blankets.

The equipment functions best when dry but loses insulation effectiveness in wet environments such as rain or high humidity.

There is no standardized protocol for hypothermia prevention in Norway, and ambulansetepper are a common method, though they have clear limitations in adverse weather conditions.

Healthcare institutions have identified a need for more practical and cost-effective alternatives, though it is not described how LESS Ambulansetepper specifically meet these needs.
