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.
