3M Bair Hugger Underbody Warming Blanket, 55501
An underbody forced-air warming blanket that can be positioned on the procedure table before the patient arrives, allowing unrestricted access from above.
The 3M Bair Hugger Warming Blanket, model 55501, is an underbody style forced-air warming blanket, meaning it is placed on the procedure table beneath the patient rather than draped over them. This design provides full, unrestricted patient access from above, which is useful in procedures where the surgical team needs clear access to a large area of the body without a blanket in the way.
Because it can be positioned on the table before the patient arrives, it also simplifies room turnover and setup, letting staff prepare the warming system in advance of the case. Warmed air circulates through the blanket to help prevent hypothermia and maintain the patient's normal body temperature throughout the procedure, supporting the reduced complication rates associated with good perioperative temperature management.
This underbody format suits trauma, cardiac and other procedures needing broad surgical access. It is stocked under a single catalog number.
