Proven, Effective Warmth

< PREVIOUS VIDEO NEXT VIDEO >

The 3M™ Bair Hugger™ warming blanket system is the most used and studied method of surgical warming in the country, with its clinical benefits and efficacy well documented in more than 170 studies and more than 60 randomised controlled clinical trials.
The Bair Hugger warming blanket system has become an indispensable component in the care of surgical patients, providing proven, effective warming therapy to patients across the globe.
The 3M Bair Hugger Research Compendium includes summaries of more than 200 articles published between 1989 and 2017 covering a wide range of surgeries in which the Bair Hugger system is either the subject of, or utilised during, the clinical investigation.

Surgical draping, patient safety and 3M™ Bair Hugger™ patient warming system

The surgical draping process starts by sealing the 3M™ Bair Hugger™ warming blanket to the patient’s chest with an adhesive strip. Any excess air is exhausted near the patient’s neck and shoulders and behind that surgical drape. Despite these and other safeguards, surgical site infections do occur for a variety of reasons. However, the Bair Hugger warming blanket is not the cause.
