The Mistral-Air® Upper Body Plus blanket MA2260 is designed to warm the upper part of your patient in supine position with both arms positioned away from the body and can be used throughout the perioperative pathway.
Prevent unwanted airflow
The Upper Body Plus blanket MA2260 features a U-shaped neck to optimise blanket positioning, adhesive tape to prevent unwanted airflow to the surgical field, integrated tie strips on the sides to help secure the blanket. It also has a clear face shield to form a “tent” of warm air surrounding the head of your ventilated patient.
The strips are located halfway up, to maintain visibility on the lower arm and to observe the IV line.
Blue 2 Body is the norm when using our warming blankets.
Mistral-Air® blankets need to be used with the soft blue material towards the patient’s skin. When used oppositely the treatment will be ineffective. The blue side provides the air distribution towards the patient.
Always unfold and position the blanket with the blue side towards your patient skin.
Use the optional hose clamp
The two air inlets provide more flexibility when positioning the Mistral-Air® warming unit.
To begin warming, first, open the perforated strips of the air inlet and insert the hose end. Insert the hose into the hose connector until the ring is fully plugged in. Secure the hose with the hose clamp, and switch on the Mistral-Air® warming unit. Warming therapy begins at the default temperature setpoint of 38 degrees Celsius.
