Examples, as used in hospitals meeting or exceeding all local and federal safety and fire codes and statutes as well as JCAH and other hospital overseeing authorities for safety and reliability.

Blanket warmer. A sturdy steel cabinet with heat strips bolted to the back. Blankets can come into direct contact with the metal cabinet walls the warming elements are attached to without presenting a fire hazard.
Incubators, biological growth chambers. Very similar to blanket warmers with heat regulation thermostats accurate within +/- 1 degree F.

-Many of these elements come with a lifetime warranty. That is, when used according to manufacturer specifications and directions they will never burn out or fail.

The deal is, serious animal keepers do not need to be restricted to pet shop type 'toy' tank heaters. They do not need to heat individual tanks, instead heating entire cabinets or entire surfaces the tanks are placed on.
