Description
Key Features:
Forced-Air Warming: The blanket connects to a Bair Hugger warming unit, which blows warm air through the blanket's perforations to provide even and consistent heat to the patient's lower body.
Lower Body Coverage: This specific model is designed to cover a patient's lower body from the waist down. This allows clinicians to have full access to the upper body and surgical site while keeping the patient warm.
Foot Drape: The blanket includes an integrated foot drape. This feature is designed to minimize the risk of thermal injury to the feet and lower legs while ensuring those areas receive warming therapy.
Secure and Versatile: A continuous adhesive strip helps to secure the blanket to the patient, preventing it from shifting 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: It's made from a soft, comfortable, lightweight, and latex-free nonwoven polypropylene material, which is gentle on the skin and reduces the risk of allergic reactions.
Disposable: As a single-use product, it is intended for one patient only to maintain hygiene and reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
Uses:
Hypothermia Prevention: Its main use is to maintain a patient's core body temperature during surgical procedures on the upper body. Maintaining normothermia is a crucial part of patient care and can help reduce the risk of complications such as surgical site infections and cardiac events.
Pre- and Postoperative Care: It can be used in pre-op and recovery rooms to warm patients before and after surgery, which promotes comfort and helps stabilize their body temperature.
Variety of Procedures: The blanket is commonly used in general surgery, orthopedic, vascular, and urological procedures where the lower body needs to be warmed while the upper body is exposed.
