3M Bair Hugger Multi-Access Warming Blanket, 31500
A single-use, overbody forced-air warming blanket designed for multiple points of surgical access while helping maintain normothermia.
The 3M Bair Hugger Warming Blanket, model 31500, is a single-use overbody forced-air warming blanket described as a multi-access design, meaning it is built to accommodate surgical access from several points on the patient's body rather than a single fixed area. Warmed air circulates through the blanket to help prevent hypothermia and maintain normothermia throughout the procedure, which supports the reduced rate of complications, including surgical site infection, associated with stable perioperative temperature control.
Because it sits over the patient rather than underneath, it can be positioned to cover most of the body while still allowing access at the points the procedure requires. This kind of blanket suits general and multi-site procedures where the surgical team needs flexibility about where they work on the patient during the case.
Being single-use, it is discarded after each patient to support infection control between cases. It is stocked under a single catalog number.
