Description
Key Features:
Multi-Access Design: The most distinctive feature is its "multi-access" design, with six convenient panels that can be opened to allow quick and easy access to the patient's chest, arms, torso, and lower body. This is a significant advantage in the operating room as it allows for flexibility and reduces the need to reposition the blanket.
Full Body Coverage: The blanket provides comprehensive warming from head to toe, maximizing heat transfer and helping to maintain a stable core body temperature.
Forced-Air Warming: It connects to a Bair Hugger warming unit (such as the 675 or 775 models) which blows warm air through the blanket's channels and perforations, ensuring uniform and consistent heating.
Integrated Design:
Foot Drape: It includes an integrated foot drape to minimize the risk of thermal injury to the feet and lower legs.
Tuck Flaps: Integrated tuck flaps at the shoulders help secure the blanket in place, preventing it from shifting during a procedure.
Patient-Friendly 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 standards and patient safety.
Uses:
Preventing Hypothermia: Its primary use is to maintain a patient's core body temperature (normothermia) during and after surgical procedures. Maintaining a stable body temperature can help to reduce the risk of complications such as surgical site infections (SSIs), increased blood loss, and cardiac events.
Surgical Flexibility: The multi-access design is particularly useful in procedures where clinicians need to access different parts of the patient's body throughout the surgery without interrupting the warming therapy.
General Clinical Warming: It can be used for any adult patient in a hospital or clinic who requires warming to maintain their body temperature, especially in the operating room and recovery areas.
