Abstract: Described herein is a warming blanket having a structure comprising a first layer of material forming a bottom layer with openings to allow a profusion of air through the bottom layer, a second layer of material forming an upper layer wherein the upper layer is coupled to the bottom layer to form an initial shape of the warming blanket and to form a plurality of interconnected air passageways between the first and second layers of material, wherein at least a portion of the structure is deformable in at least one dimension to reshape the periphery of the warming blanket while maintaining the integrity of the interconnecting air passageways throughout the structure; and wherein the deformable portion of the blanket is deformable by at least a 50% elongation. Examples of materials comprising the deformable portions of the warming blanket include low density polyethylene, metallocene polyethylene, polypropylene, parafilm, and polyurethane.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a sectional warming blanket for patient warming having a structure comprising a first layer of material forming a bottom layer with openings to allow a profusion of air through the bottom layer, a second layer of material forming an upper layer wherein the upper layer is coupled to the bottom layer via a plurality of seals to form a plurality of interconnected air passageways, and an inlet located on the upper or bottom layers. In an embodiment, the sectional warming blanket further comprises an opening configured to receive a coupling device for coupling the sectional warming blanket to an additional sectional warming blanket. In another embodiment, the sectional warming blanket further comprises at least one outline formed from a portion of the structure, such that a section can be removed from the blanket and the blanket is re-sealed by a bonding mechanism along its periphery.
