Description

The HotDog U501V combines active underbody warming with an integrated return electrode to support veterinary surgical procedures in one streamlined platform. It helps maintain normothermia while also providing a return path for monopolar electrosurgery, reducing setup steps and keeping the surgical area more efficient.

Designed for veterinary surgical environments including operating rooms and dental suites, the U501V can be used for warming, grounding, or both at the same time. Unlike traditional adhesive grounding pads, it does not require shaving or conductive gel, and its lightweight, reusable design makes it easier to move, clean, and turn over between cases.

For warming, the U501V connects to the blue port on the WC77V Controller using the A112 blue cable. For grounding, it connects directly to one or two compatible isolated monopolar generators using the A136 or A137 green cables, with the A138 adapter used when required by generator safety monitoring systems.

Features

  • Dual-function workflow: One reusable underbody device for active warming and monopolar grounding, with the flexibility to use either function independently or together.
  • Active conductive warming: Delivers even underbody warmth with a maximum surface temperature of 40°C / 104°F to support normothermia during procedures.
  • Integrated return electrode: Uses capacitive technology to work through a thin barrier without requiring direct skin contact, shaving, or conductive gel.
  • Broad generator compatibility: Designed for isolated monopolar generators with standard two-hole connections and validated for 300 to 600 kHz, up to 300 W cut and 120 W coag.
  • Lightweight and durable: Weighs 2 lb and features a fluid-resistant polyurethane construction that is easier to handle and clean between cases.
  • Reusable and cost-conscious: Built for repeated use with a 1 year warranty and 2 year service life / expiration.
  • Safety-focused setup: Best performance is achieved by maximizing patient contact with the mattress, using a thin barrier, and protecting the patient from grounded metal contact.

Most Effective for Normothermia

March 5, 2024

From my experience with a variety of devices including forced-air and water pumps, the Hot Dog seems to be the most effective for maintaining normothermia.
