ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for pneumatic therapy blanket with sterile access. In one embodiment, an inflatable therapy blanket, which is sterilized, has an opening in the patient's chest area. In another embodiment, a perforated seam is positioned along the longitudinal axis of the blanket between the patient's neck and the access opening. By breaking the perforation, a slit is formed, allowing access to the patient's body from outside the blanket. In another embodiment, the blanket covers only the lower portion of the patient's body and the blanket has a tape edge for attaching the blanket to the patient's body.
