3M Bair Hugger Temperature Monitoring Patient Sensors
Single-use, non-invasive patient sensors that continuously measure core body temperature, supporting consistent monitoring throughout the perioperative period.
The Bair Hugger temperature monitoring system uses single-use patient sensors to provide non-invasive, continuous core temperature monitoring throughout a surgical procedure. Rather than relying on intermittent spot checks, this kind of sensor continuously tracks the patient's temperature, giving the surgical and anaesthesia team ongoing visibility into whether the patient is maintaining normothermia or trending towards hypothermia during the case.
Because the sensor is affordable and single-use, it supports standardisation of temperature monitoring across a facility's operating theatres without the added cost or reprocessing burden of a reusable probe. Consistent temperature monitoring throughout the perioperative process helps clinical staff respond promptly if additional warming measures are needed, supporting the broader goal of reducing complications linked to unintended hypothermia, including surgical site infection.
These sensors are used alongside Bair Hugger forced-air warming equipment as part of an integrated approach to perioperative temperature management. It is stocked under a single catalog number.
