3M Bair Hugger Warming Unit, Model 875
A forced-air warming unit that powers Bair Hugger warming gowns and blankets, helping prevent hypothermia during surgical procedures.
The Bair Hugger warming unit, Model 875, is a forced-air temperature management device used to power warming gowns and blankets during surgical procedures. It generates a controlled supply of warmed air, delivered through connected hoses to the patient-side warming product, helping to prevent hypothermia and maintain normothermia throughout the preoperative, intraoperative and recovery periods.
As with other units in the Bair Hugger range, it forms the central piece of equipment behind a facility's forced-air patient warming protocol, working alongside single-use gowns, blankets and temperature sensors to give a complete warming and monitoring solution. Consistent perioperative temperature control has been linked to a reduced rate of complications, including surgical site infection, supporting the routine use of dedicated warming units like this in operating theatres.
It is intended for facilities standardising their patient warming equipment around the Bair Hugger system. It is stocked under two catalog numbers.
