3M Bair Hugger Full Body Warming Blanket, 30000
A single-use, full body forced-air warming blanket that helps prevent hypothermia and maintain normothermia throughout a surgical procedure.
The 3M Bair Hugger Warming Blanket, model 30000, is a single-use full body forced-air warming blanket used to cover the patient during a surgical procedure and connect to the Bair Hugger warming unit. Warmed air is circulated through channels in the blanket, distributing heat across the patient's body to help prevent hypothermia and maintain normothermia for the duration of the case.
Maintaining a stable core body temperature during surgery has been shown to help reduce the rate of complications, including surgical site infection, which is why forced-air warming blankets of this kind are used routinely in many operating theatres. As a full body blanket, it is suited to general procedures where covering the whole patient is practical and where access does not need to be limited to a specific area.
Being single-use, it is discarded after each patient, supporting infection control between cases. It is stocked under a single catalog number.
