Blanket Warming Cabinets: What You Need to Know

Hospital blanket warmers provide a gentle, even heat to blankets, linens, towels, and anything else you decide to store in them. Small touches such as a warm blanket can keep your patients comfortable during a difficult time while demonstrating the effort you put into making their stay as pleasant as possible.

Blanket warmers can be used for all manner of warming purposes but are intended for use with blankets and other cloth items. Many illnesses lead to patients feeling cold, and a warm blanket can be a welcome remedy. Additionally, some procedures, especially those involving anesthesia, can cause body temperatures to drop – a readily available warm blanket can keep your patients at a safe temperature during procedures.

Common Questions About Blanket Warmers

What type of establishment needs a blanket warming cabinet?

These cabinets are mostly targeted towards hospitals and other healthcare institutions, but they work the same regardless of where you place them. Any establishment that could make use of a warm blanket or towel would benefit from one of our quality stainless steel blanket warmers. Spas and salons can utilize these machines to ensure a warm towel is always available, which can improve the customer experience.

Healthcare institutions can use a blanket warmer to improve patients' experience while also improving actual outcomes. Warm blankets can contribute to a patient's psychological wellbeing and comfort, especially in the high-stress environment of a hospital. Additionally, some situations, diseases, or procedures can cause a patient to shiver and feel cold or even cause their actual temperature to drop. A warm blanket can counteract these effects without complicating the patient's condition.

Perhaps the most important benefit offered by a blanket warmer, though, is that you can show your patients you care. When completing satisfaction surveys, your patients will remember the small things you've done to improve their stay, including providing a warm blanket when they were cold.

Which blanket warming cabinet should I choose?

Most of our hospital blanket warmers share features, with the main difference between them being size. We carry small countertop units that can keep a few blankets warm at a time, but we also have full-size standing units that can hold far more. The majority of our blanket warmers have no internal fans or moving parts, which ensures the machine operates quietly, while double-paned glass windows provide insulation and a clear view.

Some warmers have unique features that you may wish to consider. Locking mechanisms can secure whatever supplies you're storing, while adjustable temperature ranges can bring the blankets to a precisely comfortable level of warmth. Consult the product specifications page for the unit you're considering to see the exact dimensions alongside all the valuable features each unit has.
