3M Bair Hugger Full Access Underbody Blanket, 54500
A single-use, full access underbody forced-air warming blanket that provides unrestricted patient access for trauma, cardiac and routine surgeries.
The Bair Hugger full access underbody warming blanket, model 54500, is a single-use forced-air warming blanket positioned on the procedure table beneath the patient, providing unrestricted access from above throughout the case. Because it can be placed on the table before the patient arrives, it supports efficient setup and room turnover ahead of surgery.
Warmed air circulates through the blanket to help prevent hypothermia and maintain normothermia, whether the patient is positioned supine, lateral or prone, giving the surgical team flexibility across trauma, cardiac, complex or routine procedures. Maintaining a stable body temperature throughout surgery is associated with a reduced rate of complications, including surgical site infection, which supports the routine use of forced-air warming blankets like this one.
As a single-use item, it is discarded after each patient to support infection control between cases. It is stocked under a single catalog number.
