What is HotDog Patient Warming?

The Most Advanced Temperature Management System Ever

HotDog Patient Warming WC77 Temperature Management Controller Multiport

The HotDog Patient Warming System helps maintain patient normothermia during surgical procedures. The Controller sends low-voltage direct current to air-free Patient Warming Blankets and Mattresses. This creates safe, uniform warmth for the patient for many surgical positions.

HotDog is the only Patient Warming System that can effectively warm from above and below at the same time.

HotDog Delivers the ABCs of Patient Warming

Air-Free

HotDog utilizes a unique conductive fabric called ThermAssure® which emits no waste heat. Forced-air warming systems contaminate the air of the sterile field. Waste heat carries particles from the ground to the surgical site.

Better Warming

Warm from above and below the patient at the same time. HotDog is the only patient warming technology that utilizes both blankets and mattresses. These give it tremendous versatility and effectiveness for many procedures.

Cost Effective

Implement HotDog with no up-front costs and immediate cost savings. Decrease your cost of care. Normothermic patients have better outcomes. This leads to shorter hospital stays and faster operating room turnover rates.

What are Users Saying?

Slide Background “We replaced forced-air warming with the HotDog system. The advantages of eliminating forced air blowing over surgical wounds are obvious and have been proven to be of great advantage in the medical literature and in our practice.” Jax M., OR Manager
Surgery Center, Alaska
Slide Background Dr. C, Physician

“Since converting to the HotDog Patient Warming System, our patients arrive in PACU normothermic. They emerge from anesthesia faster and in less discomfort, and are ready for discharge sooner.”
