The 3M™ Bair Hugger™ multi-position upper body warming blanket was inspired by the clinician’s need to optimize patient body surface coverage, bending and conforming to the patient to help maintain normothermia and drive positive patient outcomes.
Positioned on the procedure table prior to the patient’s arrival into the operating room, the 3M™ Bair Hugger™ lithotomy underbody blanket delivers full, unrestricted access and flexibility for procedures involving the lower extremities, and abdominal, peritoneal and pelvic cavities.
