Bair Hugger

The system includes two primary components: a warming unit and a disposable blanket.

The warming unit is connected by a flexible hose to the single-use blanket.

[2] The Bair Hugger system warms effectively due to the properties of convection and radiation; heat transfer improves with the movement of warmed air across the surface of the patient's skin.

Up to 64 percent of the patient's body surface may be recruited for heat transfer, depending on which Bair Hugger blanket is used.

[4] The Bair Hugger was produced by Arizant, previously known as Augustine Medicine.
