The same stainless steel equipment can be referred to by “blanket warmer”, “warming cabinet” , “Combination Blanket and Solution warmer”.”Fluid Warmer ” Medical Blanket Warmer, hospital blanket warmer, blanket/ solution warming cabinet, and blanket warming cabinet. This is just a matter of preference, referring to the same type of hospital grade medical equipment.
When described as a Blanket / Solution Warmer, the unit or separate compartments can be used to separately warm both blankets and solutions used in a medical facility. Intravenous solutions and Irrigation Fluids should not be warmed in the same chamber as blankets.
Medical Importance of Blanket Warmers
Passive warming with blankets can only reduce patient heat loss as metabolic processes help the patient to warm from within.
MANY SIZES, COUNTERTOP TO LARGE DOUBLE COMPARTMENT AND PASS THROUGH WARMERS
Warming Cabinets come in sizes to fit all clinical spaces and layouts. The most popular, two compartment Warmers are most often utilized in Operating Rooms, Operating Theaters, Pre-op, PACU, ICU, ED, Veterinary clinics. Independently heated and controlled, these Dual Chamber Warming Cabinets can store linens or blankets in one chamber and solutions in the other. Each compartment can be programed and monitored to the optimal temperature required. Full Height (72″) single compartment warmers are utilized in high volume clinical areas like Emergency Rooms where a high volume of warm blankets are necessary. Mid-size one compartment units meet the need of moderate volume, such as chemotherapy , Cath Labs and Endo. Countertop units (30″ wide x 26″ H) and mini space saving units ( 18″ wide) are available for lower volume clinical, imaging and procedure areas with space limitations. Castors on these small single compartment units provide the ability to store these units under a table or desk. Pass Through Warming Cabinets installed within the wall between the Sterile core and the operating room, provide easy restocking without entering or exiting the OR or ASC.
