The 3M Bair Hugger Animal Health Overbody Blanket is a single-use, disposable forced-air warming blanket designed to provide safe and effective warming for animal patients from above during veterinary procedures. It connects to a Bair Hugger warming unit and delivers warmed air across the top of the animal's body, offering an alternative positioning option to an underbody blanket depending on the procedure and how the animal is positioned on the table.
Maintaining normal body temperature in anaesthetised animals is important for smoother recovery and to reduce risks associated with intraoperative hypothermia, echoing similar temperature management practices used in human surgery. Veterinary surgeons and veterinary nursing staff select the overbody configuration when the surgical site or positioning makes underbody access impractical, giving the surgical team flexibility to warm the animal effectively regardless of table setup.
Veterinary hospitals and animal surgical centres stock single use warming blankets as routine perioperative supplies, and distributors supplying veterinary practices carry this overbody blanket alongside the underbody version.
