HOTDOG PATIENT WARMING SYSTEM
The key to effective warming is surface area. HotDog
is the only patient warming technology that can warm
from above and below the patient at the same time,
which offers tremendous versatility and effectiveness.
A recent study found HotDog warmed significantly
faster than forced-air warming when all other rele-
vant variables were held constant in a prospective,
randomized controlled trial.
Over-the-body blankets and underbody mattresses
are warmed by a flexible, semi-conductive polymer
fabric that directs heat toward the patient, not waste-
fully around the room, which is a proven vector of con-
tamination.
HotDog is not only effective and air-free; it is reusable,
making it easier on your budget and the environment.
Eliminate costly disposables and allow all patients to
receive the benefits of normothermia.

HOTDOG PEDIATRIC PATIENT WARMING
Maintaining normothermia in pediatric patients is especially chal-
lenging because smaller patients have less surface area to warm.
HotDog's complete Pediatric Patient Warming line includes head
wraps, a blanket and a mattress, all designed specifically for pedi-
atric patients.
HotDog's conductive fabric technology warms without blowing air,
which can actually cause evaporative cooling in pediatric patients.
The adjustable warming head wrap contours to the patient and is
held in place by a flexible positioning system. It can also be used as a
blanket for smaller patients. Our unique warming mattress cradles
the smallest patients in controlled warmth.
Because warming is so critical to positive outcomes, especially in
pediatric patients, HotDog's Pediatric Patient Warming system was used by
Driscoll Children's Hospital in a recent surgical separation of conjoined twins.

WAFFLEGRIP™ TRENDELENBURG
POSITIONING PAD
HotDog
®
WaffleGrip™ Positioning Pad is the only
heated positioning solution for Trendelenburg. Air-
free HotDog Patient Warming uses WaffleGrip Safety
Technology to defeat hypothermia in procedures with
unique positioning challenges, including
Robotics, GYN, Urology and Colorectal.
Single-use WaffleGrip covers the reinforced HotDog
warming mattress (U300) to secure the patient while
allowing warming from below. The unique waffle
pattern evenly disperses grip on the patient using
mechanical hold and friction (following AORN rec-
ommendations), which reduces localized shearing
forces and eliminates risk of brachial plexus injury.
HotDog WaffleGrip is less expensive than
other Trendelenburg positioners, easier to use,
and more reliable than cutting and taping egg crate
foam.
