3M Bair Hugger Surgical Access Warming Blanket, 57000
A single-use, full-body forced-air warming blanket with two resealable hose ports, offering flexible positioning of the warming unit across procedures.
The Bair Hugger surgical access warming blanket, model 57000, is a single-use full-body forced-air warming blanket built with a flexible design that includes two resealable hose ports. Having two ports lets the surgical team choose the most convenient connection point for the warming hose depending on the procedure and how the patient is positioned, making the blanket adaptable to a variety of surgical setups rather than fixed to a single configuration.
Warmed air circulated through the blanket helps prevent hypothermia and maintain normothermia throughout the case, supporting the reduced rate of complications, including surgical site infection, associated with stable perioperative temperature management. This adaptability makes it a practical general-purpose option for operating theatres handling a mix of procedure types where flexibility in hose positioning is useful.
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 configuration.
