3M Bair Hugger Dual Port Torso Warming Blanket, 54200
A single-use, dual-port torso warming blanket that can be affixed to the lower abdomen or above, giving flexible upper-body forced-air warming.
The Bair Hugger dual port torso warming blanket, model 54200, is a single-use upper-body forced-air warming blanket built with two resealable hose ports, giving the surgical team flexibility in how they connect the warming hose depending on where access is needed during the procedure. The blanket can be affixed around the lower abdomen or higher on the torso, adapting to different surgical positions and case types while still delivering warmed air to help prevent hypothermia.
Maintaining normothermia throughout surgery has been linked to a reduced risk of complications, including surgical site infection, which is why this kind of forced-air warming blanket is used routinely in many operating theatres. The dual port design in particular supports procedures where the warming connection point may need to change without replacing the whole blanket.
Being single-use, it is discarded after each patient to support infection control between cases. It is stocked under a single catalog number.
