3M Bair Hugger Spinal Underbody Warming Blanket, 57501
A single-use underbody forced-air warming blanket shaped for spinal surgery, providing unrestricted patient access while helping prevent hypothermia.
The Bair Hugger spinal underbody warming blanket, model 57501, is a single-use forced-air warming blanket designed specifically for spinal surgeries, where patient positioning and surgical access along the length of the back are particular considerations. Positioned on the procedure table before the patient arrives, it provides unrestricted access to the surgical site while warming the patient from below throughout the case.
Warmed air circulated through the blanket helps prevent hypothermia and maintain normothermia during procedures that can often be lengthy, supporting the reduced rate of complications, including surgical site infection, associated with stable perioperative body temperature. Because spinal procedures often involve the patient in a prone position for an extended period, a dedicated underbody blanket shaped for this positioning helps ensure consistent warming without interfering with surgical access.
Being single-use, it is discarded after each patient to support infection control between cases. It is stocked under a single catalog number.
