3M Bair Hugger Upper Body Warming Blanket
A single-use, upper-body forced-air warming blanket that helps prevent hypothermia and maintain normothermia across a wide range of surgical positions.
The 3M Bair Hugger Warming Blanket is a single-use, forced-air warming blanket designed for multi-position upper body use during surgical procedures. Connected to a Bair Hugger warming unit, the blanket circulates heated air around the upper body to help prevent unintended hypothermia and maintain the patient's normal body temperature, or normothermia, before, during and after surgery.
Maintaining normothermia has been associated with a reduced rate of complications such as surgical site infections, which is why forced-air patient warming has become a standard part of many operating room protocols. This blanket is designed to accommodate a wide range of surgical positions and procedures, giving the surgical team flexibility to keep the patient warmed regardless of how they are positioned on the table.
Being single use, it supports infection control by being discarded after each patient rather than reprocessed. It suits operating rooms across general, orthopaedic and other surgical specialties.
