EFFECTIVE

HotDog patient warming is equally as effective as forced-air warming.

SILENT

HotDog eliminates the constant, irritating blower noise.

SAFE

ThermAssure conductive fabric delivers uniform, safe, and controllable heat while eliminating airborne contamination risks caused by forced-air warming.

HotDog won't destroy the sterile field.

Recent research has established that rising hot air from forced-air warming disrupts the protection provided by the Laminar Flow ventilation systems used in ultra-clean operating rooms such as those used for orthopedic, cardiac and neuro surgery.

Internal contamination of forced-air systems is also an issue. A department of public health in the United States called Bair Hugger systems, "reservoirs of infection."
