How are Heat Treat medical warming blankets used?
Heat Treat medical warming blanket is used just like other surgical blankets and is intended to accompany the patient throughout the pre-, intra- and post-operative portions of surgery. Ideally, the package containing the blanket should be opened 20 minutes before use to start the reaction that naturally heats the blanket. Typically this is done in the pre-operative area. Once fully heated, the Heat Treat medical warming blanket is placed on the patient. Patients should not lie on top of a Heat Treat warming medical blanket. Used blankets can be disposed of in standard trash receptacles.
