Description
Key Features:
Full Body Coverage: This blanket is designed to cover the patient from head to toe, providing comprehensive warming.
Forced-Air Warming: It connects to a Bair Hugger warming unit that blows warm air through the blanket's perforations, ensuring uniform heat distribution.
Postoperative Focus: While it can be used throughout the perioperative journey, sources indicate it is specifically designed for the postoperative application of forced-air warming to surgical patients, particularly in the PACU (Post-Anesthesia Care Unit).
Patient-Centric Design: It includes integrated tuck flaps at the shoulders to help maintain the blanket's position on the patient and a foot drape to minimize the risk of thermal injury to the feet.
Soft and Safe Materials: The blanket is made from a soft, lightweight, and latex-free nonwoven polypropylene material, which is comfortable for patients and reduces the risk of allergic reactions.
Disposable: It is a single-use product, intended for one patient only, which helps to maintain infection control and patient safety.
Uses:
Hypothermia Prevention: Its primary use is to maintain a patient's core body temperature within the normal range (normothermia) during and after surgery. This helps reduce the risk of complications such as surgical site infections, cardiac events, and increased blood loss.
Postoperative Care: It is particularly well-suited for use in the recovery room to warm patients who have just undergone surgery, aiding in their recovery and comfort.
General Clinical Warming: It can be used for any adult patient who needs to be warmed to maintain their body temperature in a medical setting.
