    Abstract: A convective warmer to which blankets of different dimensions may be connected is capable of providing air to the various blankets at flow rates that optimally inflate those blankets to achieve the optimal clinical result for the patients covered by those blankets. The blanket connected to the warmer may range from a full size adult warming blanket to a pediatric warming blanket. The convection warmer may have multiple fixed air flow rates each selectable by a user, via switch(es) either electronically or mechanically. For the electronic selection of a given flow rate, a motor adaptable to rotate a different speeds is used. To vary the flow rate mechanically, a valve is controlled to vary the amount of air that may pass to the blanket. Instead of different fixed flow rates, variable air flow rates, selectable by the user, may be used. Also, a feedback circuit that maintains the pressure sensed at the outlet of the warmer to a preset pressure may be used to eliminate the need for user intervention.

    Abstract: A convective warming blanket has a head portion and a plurality of peripheral sections extending orthogonally from each side of a central section that extends uninterrupted from a proximal end below the head portion to a distal foot end of the blanket. Each peripheral section is separable from its adjacent peripheral section by a frangible or tearable common seal. At least one through passage connects each peripheral section to the central section, so that the peripheral sections are inflated when heated air is input to the blanket. The multiple peripheral sections each are movable relative to the central section, so that different body parts of the patient may be selectively accessed. The head portion of the blanket is formed by two tubular sections that extend from the proximal portion of the blanket to encircle the head of the patient, when the blanket is placed over the patient.

    Abstract: A convective warming blanket is configured to have an upper body portion and two leg portions that extend from a distal end of the upper body portion. The leg portions are separated by a space sufficient to expose a lateral side of a patient covered by the blanket. A flap separable from the leg portion that extends from the mid-section of the upper body portion may be used to securely wrap around the extended arms of the patient, who is lying on his side. Adhesive tapes are provided on the outside edges of the leg portions to secure the blanket to the surface onto which the patient lies. Apertures are appropriately formed at the sheet that comes into contact with the patient at the upper body portion and along the respective inner side edges of the leg portions so that both the upper body and the exposed lower body of the patient are warmed by heated air. The blanket is designed to have mirror image versions usable for exposing the lateral left side or the lateral right side of the patient.

    Abstract: A convective underbody blanket has a head portion and a body portion. Provided at the head portion is a non-inflatable head area surrounded by a channel that has arranged thereat at least one row of air apertures that are oriented toward the noninflatable head area when the channel is inflated. At the body portion there is provided a non-inflatable body area. The longitudinal channels that sandwich the non-inflatable body area extend substantially along the length of the noninflatable body area and are in fluid communication with each other by way of a cross channel formed at the foot end of the blanket. The configuration of the blanket allows air input to the blanket to be circulated through the various channels, so that the heated air output from the different rows of apertures formed at the various channels has substantially the same temperature.

    Abstract: An underbody convective warming blanket that may be used by a pediatric or neonate patient includes a head portion configured with multiple substantially U-shaped channels each having a plurality of adjacent rows of apertures that circumscribe the head of the patient positioned on the blanket. The adjacent rows of apertures are configured on the upper layer of the blanket so as to be positioned at an orientation or angle relative to the base plane of the blanket or the head of the patient such that those apertures would substantially face the head of the patient when the blanket is inflated, so that the heated air output from the apertures is directed substantially towards the head of the patient to thereby effect an invisible dome of heated air that envelopes the head of the patient.
