Abstract
The present invention is directed to a blanket having at least one snap stick inserted into or onto the blanket to maximize the surface area of the blanket that contacts the user.
Claims17
A blanket comprising:
- a blanket selected from the group consisting of a fluid flow blanket and a convective blanket;
- wherein the blanket has at least one sheet that defines an interior cavity, the interior cavity receives a fluid that flows within the interior cavity and affects a patient's temperature, and when the fluid is within the interior cavity the fluid does not contact the patient;
- and
- at least one snap stick positioned on the exterior surface of the blanket to maximize the blanket's contact with the patient.

A blanket comprising:
- a blanket and at least one snap stick positioned on the exterior surface of the blanket
- wherein the blanket is a fluid flow blanket and/or convective blanket and the fluid within the blanket contacts a conductive material that (1) penetrates into a cavity where the fluid circulates within the blanket, and (2) is exposed to the exterior surface of the blanket that is designed to contact the user so the conductive material transfers the thermal energy of the fluid through the conductive material to the user.
