Abstract: A single-use infection control system for a forced air warming machine having hosing connected to the machine including: a closable container having a chamber to receive the machine, the container constructed from air permeable material that prevents infectious airborne particles from entering the chamber; a sleeve having a first end and a second end, the first end engaged to an aperture on the container and the sleeve surrounding the hosing; and a filter cap constructed from the air permeable material, disposed at the second end and covering an opening of the hosing.

Abstract: A blanket for forced air warming of a patient, the blanket including a non-air permeable outer layer an air permeable inner layer contactable to the patient; the outer layer and inner layer defining an inflatable chamber, the inflatable chamber allowing egress of the forced warming air through the inner layer; wherein in use, the inflated chamber provides visual transparency of the patient.

Abstract: A blanket for venipuncture or cannulation on a patient's hand using forced air warming, including a non-air permeable outer layer and an air permeable inner layer the outer layer and inner layer defined to form an inflatable chamber, the inflatable chamber allowing egress of continuous forced warming air on the patient's hand; wherein in use, continuous forced warming air dilates and allows for visual identification of the patient's hand veins.
