the 3M™ Bair Hugger™ System
You’ll notice some exciting changes to the 3M™ Bair Hugger™ brand.
Since 1987, the 3M™ Bair Hugger™ system has extended a warm hug to more than 300 million surgical patients, helping them experience the comfort and clinical benefits of warmth.
Identifying and addressing unmet clinical needs in temperature management with proven, effective solutions has inspired the growth of the Bair Hugger portfolio to include 25 warming blanket models, four warming gown configurations and an innovative, non-invasive temperature monitoring system.
As part of 3M’s effort to Fight SSIs from Every Angle, the Bair Hugger normothermia system provides the widest range of best-in-class patient warming products to help clinicians own the zone—keeping a patient’s core body temperature within the normothermic temperature zone of 36.0° to 37.5°C¹,²— and safeguard patients while improving outcomes.
The Bair Hugger warming blanket system has demonstrated, flexible temperature management solutions designed to make your job easier and improve patient care.
The Bair Hugger warming gown system streamlines patient warming from pre-op through PACU, providing clinical and comfort warming capabilities in a single patient gown.
The Bair Hugger temperature monitoring system is the first accurate, non-invasive solution for monitoring core body temperature throughout the perioperative journey.
