Abstract
An infant warming blanket is servo controlled by a temperature probe being taped to the abdominal skin of the infant. Through use of the blanket it is possible to maintain a constant body temperature. Access to localized areas of the body is possible by removal of blanket strips to expose the area requiring attention. The blanket has a first solid section to which a second section of individual strips having varying widths are integrally attached. The electrical heating elements run through both sections.
