About Bair Hugger

The trusted standard in forced-air patient warming for surgical and veterinary care

Precision Warming When Patients Need It Most

We engineer every Bair Hugger warming system to deliver controlled, consistent heat during procedures when maintaining normothermia is critical. Our forced-air warming technology has set the standard across thousands of operating rooms, recovery centers, and veterinary clinics worldwide.

From the Bair Hugger 775 warming unit to our full range of single-use blankets and veterinary systems, each product reflects decades of clinical expertise and continuous refinement.

Bair Hugger 775 warming unit medical temperature control system

Engineered for Clinical Precision

The Bair Hugger 775 and 875 warming units deliver temperature-controlled air through specialized blankets designed for specific surgical positions. Upper body, lower body, underbody, and full-body configurations ensure proper coverage without compromising sterile fields.

Our warming systems integrate seamlessly with existing OR protocols, maintaining patient temperatures between 36°C and 38°C throughout even the longest procedures.

Every Blanket Built for a Purpose

We manufacture warming blankets for every surgical scenario: upper body access for cardiac procedures, underbody placement for prone positioning, pediatric-specific sizing, and veterinary applications. Each blanket connects to our warming units via standardized hoses with integrated temperature sensors.

Single-use construction eliminates cross-contamination concerns while maintaining consistent thermal performance across thousands of procedures daily.

Veterinary Care Built on Medical-Grade Standards

Our veterinary warming systems apply the same forced-air technology trusted in human surgery to animal care. Cage adapters, custom blanket sizes, and adjustable temperature settings accommodate species from small companion animals to large livestock.

Veterinary clinics rely on Bair Hugger systems for post-operative recovery, surgical procedures, and emergency hypothermia treatment across diverse patient sizes and fur types.

Maintaining Normothermia Saves Lives

Perioperative hypothermia increases surgical site infection risk, extends recovery times, and complicates anesthesia management. We design every Bair Hugger product to prevent these complications through precise thermal regulation.

Our commitment is simple: deliver warming technology that clinical teams can depend on, procedure after procedure, patient after patient. Temperature control shouldn’t be complicated — it should be consistent, reliable, and backed by decades of proven performance.

How Bair Hugger Systems Work

Our warming units draw ambient air through HEPA filtration, heat it to a precise temperature selected by clinical staff, and deliver it through specialized blankets via insulated hoses. Integrated temperature sensors monitor both air output and patient skin temperature.

The perforated blanket design distributes warm air evenly across the patient’s body surface, creating a gentle convective warming effect. This forced-air method transfers heat more efficiently than conductive warming pads while maintaining comfort and safety.

Replacement filters, hoses, and blankets ensure system performance remains consistent across years of intensive use. We engineer every component for reliability in demanding clinical environments.

Why Bair Hugger Systems Remain the Clinical Standard

Proven Thermal Performance

Forced-air warming delivers faster rewarming rates than passive methods or conductive blankets. Our systems maintain target temperatures throughout procedures lasting hours, not minutes. Clinical data supports efficacy across diverse patient populations and surgical specialties.

Designed for OR Integration

Bair Hugger blankets accommodate surgical access requirements without compromising sterile fields. Underbody models leave the entire dorsal surface accessible. Upper body configurations allow abdominal and lower extremity procedures. Pediatric sizing ensures proper fit for smaller patients.

Consistent Supply Chain Reliability

We maintain inventory of replacement filters, hoses, blankets, and accessories to support clinical operations without procurement delays. Single-use blanket design eliminates reprocessing requirements while ensuring infection control compliance. Our distribution network serves facilities worldwide.
