3M Bair Hugger Small Lower Body Warming Blanket, 53700
A single-use, small lower-body forced-air warming blanket for children or small adult patients undergoing upper-body surgical procedures.
The Bair Hugger small lower body warming blanket, model 53700, is a single-use forced-air warming blanket sized specifically for children or small adult patients undergoing surgery focused on the upper body. Like its adult-sized counterpart, it warms the legs and lower torso to help prevent hypothermia and maintain normothermia while leaving the chest and upper abdomen accessible to the surgical team.
Developed for smaller patients, it can be used in supine, lateral or prone positions, giving clinicians flexibility depending on how the patient needs to be positioned for the specific procedure. Maintaining a stable body temperature during upper-body surgery in children or small adults helps reduce the risk of complications, including surgical site infection, which is why appropriately sized warming blankets are important rather than relying on standard adult sizing.
Being single-use, it is discarded after each patient to support infection control. It is stocked under a single catalog number.
