Description
Key Features:
Forced-Air Warming: Like other Bair Hugger blankets, it connects to a warming unit that blows warm air through the blanket's perforations, ensuring uniform heat distribution to the patient's lower body.
Lower Body Coverage: This specific model is designed to cover the patient's lower extremities, from the waist down. This allows easy access to the upper body, head, and chest for surgical interventions.
Integrated Foot Drape: A foot drape is included to help minimize the risk of thermal injury to the feet and lower legs while also providing focused warming to that area.
Secure and Versatile: A continuous adhesive strip helps secure the blanket to the patient, preventing it from slipping or becoming displaced during a procedure. It can be used for patients in supine (on their back), lateral (on their side), or prone (on their stomach) positions.
Patient-Friendly Material: The blanket is made from a soft, comfortable, and lightweight nonwoven polypropylene material that is latex-free, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
Disposable: As a single-use product, it is designed for one patient only, which helps to maintain hygiene and reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
Uses:
Preventing and Treating Hypothermia: Its primary use is to maintain a patient's core body temperature during surgical procedures on the upper body. Maintaining normothermia can help reduce the risk of complications such as surgical site infections, cardiac events, and increased blood loss.
Various Surgical Procedures: It is commonly used in general surgery, as well as orthopedic, vascular, and urological procedures where the upper body needs to be exposed for the operation.
Pre- and Postoperative Care: The blanket is also used in pre-op and recovery rooms to warm patients before and after surgery, which enhances comfort and helps stabilize their body temperature.
