Description
Key Features:
Small Lower Body Design: This blanket is a more compact size, making it ideal for warming large children or small adult patients. It focuses on warming the lower extremities, allowing clinicians full access to the upper body for surgical procedures.
Foot Drape: An integrated foot drape helps to minimize the risk of thermal injury to the feet and lower legs while ensuring those areas receive warming therapy.
Versatile Positioning: The blanket can be used on patients in the supine (on their back), lateral (on their side), or prone (on their stomach) positions.
Full Body Option: For very small patients, the 53700 can also be used as a full-body blanket to provide comprehensive warming.
Patient-Friendly Material: It's made from a soft, comfortable, lightweight, and latex-free nonwoven polypropylene material.
Forced-Air Warming: It connects to a Bair Hugger warming unit, which blows warm air through the blanket's perforations to provide uniform convective warming.
Disposable: As a single-use product, it is intended for one patient only to maintain hygiene and reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
Uses:
Pediatric and Small Adult Surgery: Its primary use is in surgical settings, particularly for pediatric and small adult patients, to prevent and treat perioperative hypothermia.
Upper Body Procedures: It is an excellent choice for procedures where the lower body needs to be warmed while the upper body is the surgical site.
Pre- and Postoperative Warming: The blanket can be used in the pre-op and recovery areas to provide warming therapy before and after surgery.
Maintaining Normothermia: Maintaining a patient's core body temperature is crucial for reducing the risk of complications such as surgical site infections (SSIs) and cardiac events.
