3M™ Bair Hugger™ Temperature Monitoring Control Unit
About the product
The 3M ™ Bair Hugger ™ Temperature Monitoring System helps
clinicians maintain normothermia by delivering consistent core temperature monitoring from start to finish. One sensor that stays with the patient across all phases of care, in both clinical and surgical settings without reapplication or disruption. The sensor simplifies workflows, reduces variability and enhances patient care.
Product details
The Power of Knowing.
Consisting of a single-use sensor and reusable control unit, the Bair Hugger temperature monitoring system simplifies the existing temperature monitoring process while delivering accurate patient temperatures normally associated with more-invasive systems like esophageal, bladder, rectal or PA catheters.
Standardizing with one temperature monitoring system can help improve consistency, reduce opportunity for error, and eliminate the duplication of effort required to purchase and carry multiple products.
Directly beneath the sensor, an isothermal pathway forms, allowing the deep tissue temperature to rise to the skin surface.
Zero-heat-flux technology produces near-perfect insulation, so heat cannot escape from the skin surface, creating an isothermal pathway.
Unlike passive skin surface temperature sensors, the Bair Hugger temperature monitoring system’s single-use sensor consists of a thermal insulator adjacent to the skin that is covered by a flex circuit. Once connected to the Bair Hugger control unit, the flex circuit actively regulates its temperature to create a zone of perfect insulation — a condition that eliminates heat loss to the environment.
- One standardized solution for continuous, non-invasive core temperature monitoring across the perioperative journey.
- Enables charting of patient temperature.
- Clinically equivalent to invasive methods 1,2.
- Consistent, continuous core temperature monitoring from pre-op to post-op. Disconnects and reconnects at each point of care.
- May be used on non-anesthetized and anesthetized patients.
Suggested Applications
