3M Bair Hugger Warming Gown with Thinsulate
A universal patient warming gown made with Thinsulate Insulation, combining forced air warming with the added insulative power to help maintain body heat.
The Bair Hugger Universal Warming Gown with Thinsulate Insulation is a patient warming garment used in perioperative and recovery settings to help maintain normal body temperature before, during or after a surgical procedure. It is built to provide high heat transfer as part of a forced air patient warming solution, meaning it is designed to work in conjunction with a forced air warming unit rather than as a passive garment alone, directing warm air around the patient more effectively than a standard hospital gown or blanket.
The gown also incorporates Thinsulate Insulation, adding an additional insulative layer that helps retain heat the patient already has, supporting temperature maintenance even during periods when active forced air warming may be paused or reduced. Maintaining normal body temperature during surgery and recovery is an established part of patient safety protocols, since unintended hypothermia is associated with a range of complications including increased bleeding risk and slower recovery.
This gown is supplied as a universal fit, intended to accommodate a range of patient sizes in a hospital or surgical centre setting, and is used as part of the broader Bair Hugger patient warming system alongside the forced air warming unit and blankets.
