Temperature Management Unit

The temperature management unit uses a high-efficiency motor, a heating element, and a solid-state temperature control to create a continuous flow of warm air to the blanket or gown. It is designed for safe use in all areas, including the operating room.

The Model 505 temperature management unit can be attached to an IV pole or to the railing on a bed (see Figures B and C).
