Infant Lower Body Warming Blanket

Warming blankets are used primarily in operating rooms to keep the patient warm during and after surgical procedures.

Applications

Operating room temperatures are often kept relatively low to prevent the spread of microbial contaminants. Therefore, to reduce the risk of bleeding, cardiovascular problems and other cold-related complications, such blankets are almost always used to keep the patient warm, especially during long procedures. They also are employed during post-operative recovery.

Technologies

Some versions cover the entire body, while others are designed for the lower or upper body only, so as not to hinder the surgeon's work.
Forced-air warming (FAW) system designed to prevent hypothermia and keep patients at a normal core body temperature during all three phases of orthopedic surgery - preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative phases. The blankets stabilize core temperature ahead of surgery, then maintain it during the procedure and immediately afterwards as the patient recovers
