3M Bair Hugger Pediatric Underbody Blanket, 55000
A single-use, underbody forced-air warming blanket sized for paediatric patients, helping prevent hypothermia and maintain normothermia during surgery.
The Bair Hugger pediatric underbody warming blanket, model 55000, is a single-use underbody forced-air warming blanket sized for children undergoing surgical procedures. Positioned on the procedure table beneath the patient, it warms from below while leaving the child fully accessible to the surgical team from above, which suits paediatric cases where access needs may differ from adult procedures but a properly sized blanket is still needed.
Children can lose body heat more quickly than adults during surgery, making effective, appropriately sized warming particularly important in paediatric operating theatres. Warmed air circulated through the blanket helps prevent hypothermia and maintain normothermia throughout the procedure, supporting the reduced rate of complications, including surgical site infection, associated with stable perioperative temperature management.
Being single-use, it is discarded after each patient to support infection control between cases. It is stocked under a single catalog number for this paediatric configuration.
