Description
Key Features:
Patient-Adjustable Warming: A defining feature of this unit is that it can be used with compatible Bair Hugger warming gowns to allow the patient to control their own thermal comfort. A handheld controller enables patients to adjust the airflow and temperature (from ambient to 43°C) to their liking.
Compact and Lightweight: The unit is designed to be small and lightweight, making it easy to handle and transport within a clinical setting.
Versatile Mounting: The Model 875 has a "snap-fit" design that allows it to be easily mounted to a wall, bedrail, IV pole, or other flat surfaces. This saves space and improves workflow.
Built-in Hose Storage: It features a convenient, built-in storage area for the flexible, detachable hose, which helps to keep the unit organized and ready for use.
Dual-Purpose Functionality: The unit is designed to provide both "prewarming" and "post-operative comfort warming" when used with Bair Hugger gowns. This helps to prevent hypothermia and enhance the patient's overall experience.
Durable and Easy to Clean: The hose is flexible and wipeable, and the unit itself is designed for easy cleaning.
Uses:
Pre-operative Warming: The primary use is to prewarm patients before surgery, which helps to "bank" heat and reduce the drop in core body temperature that can occur after anesthesia is administered. This is a key strategy for preventing unintended hypothermia.
Post-operative Comfort: In the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) and other recovery settings, the unit can be used to provide comfort warming, helping patients feel more comfortable as they recover.
Patient Satisfaction: By giving patients control over their own warming, the Bair Hugger Model 875 helps to reduce anxiety and improve the overall patient experience.
Versatile Clinical Applications: The unit is compatible with various Bair Hugger warming gowns, making it a flexible tool for a wide range of procedures and for both adult and pediatric patients. It is used in hospitals, outpatient clinics, surgical centers, and recovery rooms.
