ued use of forced-air warming blankets in surgery. In an August 2017
letter to healthcare providers (osmag.net/XaCZr8), the FDA sought to
reassure surgeons that it was OK to use FAW devices. The FDA was
concerned that many doctors and surgical facilities were avoiding
their use in reaction to the 2,000-plus lawsuits patients filed against
3M, maker of the hugely popular Bair Hugger warming system. The
lawsuits claim 3M concealed evidence that the device actually
increases infection risk by spreading contaminants with blown air and
waste heat.
Fear not, said the FDA in its letter: "After a thorough review of avail-
able data, the FDA has been unable to identify a consistently reported
association between the use of forced-air thermal regulating systems
and surgical site infection."
