Surgical Blanket

Surgical blankets are specialized blankets used in hospitals and surgical settings. They are part of the supply class "Hospital And Surgical Clothing And Related Special Purpose Items" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."

Surgical blankets are designed to provide warmth and comfort to patients during surgical procedures. They are typically made of soft, non-woven fabric that is both breathable and disposable. These blankets are often used to cover patients before, during, and after surgery to maintain their body temperature and prevent hypothermia.

Surgical blankets are available in various sizes to accommodate different body types and surgical procedures. They are designed to be lightweight and easy to handle, allowing healthcare professionals to position them on patients quickly and efficiently.

In addition to providing warmth, surgical blankets also serve as a barrier to prevent the spread of infection. They are sterile and individually packaged to maintain a sterile environment in the operating room.

Overall, surgical blankets play a crucial role in ensuring patient comfort and safety during surgical procedures.
