3M Bair Hugger Forced-Air Warming (FAW) Lithotomy Blanket [Pack of 10]

Maintain patient normothermia in lithotomy-position procedures with the 3M Bair Hugger™ FAW Lithotomy Blanket. Engineered to cradle and warm the lower extremities while providing free access for stirrups and instrumentation, this single-use blanket helps prevent perioperative hypothermia during gynecologic, urologic, and colorectal surgeries.

Key Features & Benefits

Position-Specific Design

• Leg Pocket Configuration: Pre-shaped channels support and isolate each leg, ensuring intimate contact and uniform heat delivery along the thighs, calves, and feet.

• Stirrup Clearance: Strategically placed openings accommodate stirrups without lifting or disrupting the warming blanket—preserving uninterrupted airflow and thermal protection.

Advanced Forced-Air Warming

• Even Heat Distribution: Internal baffles guide warmed air throughout the blanket’s leg compartments and lower torso panel, eliminating cold spots and maximizing comfort.

• Rapid Thermal Response: When used with any 3M Bair Hugger™ blower, the blanket quickly reaches target temperature to support hemodynamic stability and reduce postoperative shivering.

Patient-Focused Materials

• Soft, Breathable Fabric: Non-woven, fluid-resistant material promotes moisture vapor transmission and skin comfort during prolonged lithotomy positioning.

• Low-Profile Construction: Thin, conformable design fits seamlessly under surgical drapes and stirrup supports without impeding access or imaging.

Disposable, Single-Use Convenience

• Infection Control: Sterile, latex-free construction eliminates laundering and cross-contamination risks—each blanket is individually wrapped for rapid OR deployment.

• Streamlined Workflow: Color-coded connector and intuitive blanket orientation simplify setup and draping, reducing OR turnover time.

Clinical Applications

• Gynecologic Surgery: Hysterectomy, pelvic laparoscopy, and other procedures requiring lithotomy positioning.

• Urologic Procedures: Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), cystoscopy, and bladder surgeries.

• Colorectal Operations: Low anterior resections, hemorrhoidectomies, and anal surgeries with lithotomy leg placement.

• Mixed-Position Cases: Situations combining lithotomy with supine or Trendelenburg approaches.
