Description
Key Features:
Small Size: This specific model is designed to accommodate the size and needs of adolescent and petite surgical patients, providing a comfortable and secure fit. Its length is typically around 44 inches (111 cm).
Patient-Adjustable Warming: A key feature of the Bair Hugger warming gown system is that it allows the patient to control the temperature of the air flowing through the gown. This gives the patient a sense of control and can help ease anxiety, which is particularly important for younger or smaller patients.
Dual-Port System: The gown has multiple hose ports. One is typically used for comfort warming (e.g., in the pre-op or PACU setting), and another can be used for clinical warming when a more intense and targeted warming is required during surgery. This eliminates the need to switch out blankets and gowns.
Full Coverage and Modesty: The gown has a wrap-around, full-back design with side ties to ensure secure and complete coverage for the patient, which helps to maintain their dignity.
Soft, Flannel-like Fabric: The gown is made from a soft, comfortable material that resembles flannel, which is gentle on the skin and helps with patient satisfaction.
Disposable: It's a single-use product intended for one patient only, which helps to maintain infection control and reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
Uses:
Preoperative Warming: It is used to warm smaller patients before surgery, which can help offset the redistribution temperature drop caused by the induction of anesthesia and reduce patient anxiety.
Intraoperative Warming: The gown can be connected to a Bair Hugger warming unit during surgery to maintain the patient's core body temperature and prevent hypothermia, which is associated with a range of costly complications.
Postoperative Recovery: In the PACU, the gown continues to provide therapeutic warming, helping to aid in the patient's recovery and improve their overall experience.
Improved Patient Satisfaction: By providing warmth and a sense of control in a size that fits them, the warming gown helps to improve the overall patient experience and satisfaction with their care.
