Frequently asked questions
Does the Visiblanket provide a reliable fluid barrier?
Yes, the Graham Medical Visiblanket is specifically designed to provide an essential fluid barrier for covering patients or equipment during recovery and transport.
This crucial protective feature is built into its heavy-duty, multi-layered construction. The materials utilized to ensure robust fluid resistance include:
- Polyethylene: Forms the primary layer providing fluid-resistant properties.
- White Airlaid Materials (or Poly/Tissue in certain configurations): These materials are combined with the polyethylene to enhance durability and maintain the overall barrier integrity in demanding medical and emergency settings.
Is the Visiblanket a strong fluid barrier?
Yes, the Graham Medical Visiblanket is specifically designed to provide reliable fluid barrier protection essential for medical and emergency settings.
This robust protection is achieved through the blanket’s heavy-duty, multi-layered composition:
- Polyethylene: Provides a durable, protective layer.
- White Airlaid Materials: Combined with the polyethylene, these materials create an effective fluid-resistant shield.
This construction ensures reliable coverage when used for patients or equipment during recovery and transport.
What are the best uses for this high-visibility blanket?
The Graham Medical Visiblanket is a heavy-duty, high-utility covering solution designed specifically for emergency, triage, and hospital settings. Its primary functions focus on rapid identification, protection, and privacy:
- High-Visibility Identification: The distinctive bright yellow color ensures maximum visibility, allowing for quick identification of accident victims, patients, or covered equipment during transport and recovery.
- Fluid Barrier Protection: Constructed with durable materials (Polyethylene and white airlaid) to offer a critical fluid barrier for patients and equipment.
- Privacy and Coverage: With generous sizing (available in 50” x 84” or 54” x 84”), it provides excellent coverage for patient privacy or equipment protection in dynamic environments.
Important Usage Restriction:
Please be aware that the 54” x 84” configuration (Yellow/White, Poly/Tissue structure) carries a critical restriction and must not be used for patient transfer.
Is the Visiblanket high-visibility yellow?
Yes, the Graham Medical Visiblanket is intentionally designed in a bright, high-visibility yellow color. This is one of its key selling points, crucial for use in medical and emergency settings.
The high visibility aids in:
- Rapid Patient Identification: Quickly locating and distinguishing patients or accident victims.
- Maximum Visibility: Ensuring covered equipment or individuals are easy to spot during transport and recovery phases.
In addition to the visibility, this heavy-duty blanket is constructed from polyethylene and white airlaid materials, which provide essential fluid barrier protection.
What sizes and packaging options are available?
The Graham Medical Visiblanket is offered in two large, heavy-duty sizes, both designed to provide full coverage and reliable fluid barrier protection. Both configurations are packaged with a total of 25 blankets per case.
Available Configurations
- 50” x 84” (MPN 53382):
- Material: Durable Polyethylene and White Airlaid construction.
- Packaging: Each blanket is individually packaged in a printed poly bag (25 per case).
- 54” x 84” (MPN 54849):
- Material: Yellow/White Poly/Tissue composition.
- Packaging: Blankets are packed 5 per bag, with 5 bags per case (25 total per case).
⚠️ Important Usage Warning:
The 54” x 84” configuration (MPN 54849) carries an explicit label: DO NOT USE FOR PATIENT TRANSFER! This variant is intended solely for identification, privacy, equipment coverage, and fluid barrier use.
What are the primary uses of the Visiblanket?
The Graham Medical Visiblanket is a heavy-duty, high-visibility covering designed primarily for emergency, recovery, and transport environments. Its main uses are:
- High Visibility Patient Identification: The blanket’s bright yellow color is crucial for the rapid identification of patients, accident victims, or equipment, significantly streamlining triage and response protocols.
- Fluid Barrier Protection: It features a robust fluid barrier constructed from durable polyethylene and white airlaid materials, offering essential protection.
- Patient and Equipment Privacy: The generous sizing (available up to 54” x 84”) ensures full coverage for patient privacy or to protect equipment during dynamic situations.
Important Safety Note:
One specific configuration (54” x 84”, Poly/Tissue structure) explicitly warns users: DO NOT USE FOR PATIENT TRANSFER.
What are the generous dimensions for full coverage?
The Visiblanket is designed with generous dimensions to provide full coverage for patients or equipment, ensuring maximum visibility and effective fluid barrier protection. Two sizes are available:
- 50” x 84” (SKU GRH-53382): Constructed from durable Polyethylene and White Airlaid materials.
- 54” x 84” (SKU GRH-54849): Constructed with a Poly/Tissue structure.
Important Safety Note: Please note that the larger 54” x 84” (Poly/Tissue) variant is explicitly marked with a warning and must not be used for patient transfer.
Is the Visiblanket fluid-resistant and durable?
Yes, the Graham Medical Visiblanket is built with heavy-duty construction and engineered to provide essential fluid barrier protection in emergency and medical settings.
Its durability and barrier properties stem from its robust material composition:
- Fluid Barrier: It uses polyethylene (or Poly/Tissue in some variants) as the primary material to effectively block fluids.
- Structure: This is combined with white airlaid materials (or Tissue) to provide enhanced structure and robust containment.
This design ensures the blanket is a reliable solution for covering patients or equipment and maintaining privacy and identification during transport.
How many Visiblankets are included per case?
The quantity of Visiblankets is standardized, with 25 blankets included per case for both available sizes. However, the inner packaging structure varies:
- 50” x 84” Configuration: Each blanket is individually packaged in a printed poly bag, with 25 units total per case.
- 54” x 84” Configuration: These blankets are bundled into bags of 5 units each. Each case contains 5 of these bags (5 bags x 5 blankets = 25 total blankets).
Important Usage Note: The 54” x 84” configuration (Yellow/White, Poly/Tissue) explicitly carries a warning: DO NOT USE FOR PATIENT TRANSFER!
How many cases fit on a pallet?
The quantity of cases per pallet varies depending on the specific configuration of the Visiblanket:
- For the 50” x 84” configuration (individually packaged), 42 cases fit on a pallet.
- For the 54” x 84” configuration (packaged 5 per bag), 48 cases fit on a pallet.
