Soma Tech Intl offers new, demo, and refurbished blanket warmers up to 50% below OEM prices with the same service and warranty as new. Medical facilities such as hospitals, surgical centers, clinics, etc. use blanket warmers to store and warm blankets, linens, IV (sterile intravenous), and surgical irrigation fluids to help reduce the risk of hypothermia in patients following a procedure. The long wait times, and lower temperatures of hospitals and medical facilities can have adverse effects on the patients. The first method of keeping the patient's body temperature at a normal level would be pre-warmed blankets or IV.
Blanket warmers may also be referred to as warming cabinets because sometimes they don't always only warm blankets. Many different names refer to the same piece of equipment. For example, medical blanket warmer, hospital blanket warmer, solution warmer, blanket warming cabinet, but rest assured they all do the same thing. There are no "national" blanket warmer temperature guidelines, but the ECRI institute stated in 2009 that temperatures don't need to be any higher than 130°F (54.44°C). Warming cabinets are found in a variety of different medical facilities to veterinary offices and even spas. IV fluids and blood can be warmed in a warming cabinet to be used to restore a patient's temperature to a normal range to avoid hypothermia. Warming linens and blankets are also used for increasing body temperature, especially during procedures.
