Warming cabinet (blankets and IV fluids)
A dry-heat storage cabinet, unlike the already-catalogued active forced-air warming blanket: it keeps blankets and linens at around 68°C and IV fluid bags or solutions at around 40-43°C, ready for use, without delivering warm air directly to the patient.
How it is used
Pre-warms blankets, linens, and intravenous fluids before use, helping to prevent perioperative hypothermia.
