I love mine!! It's a fantastic piece of equipment and it really does keep patients' temperatures stable during surgery and post operatively during recovery. I find they recover much quicker as there is less risk of hypothermia.

We hve one and love it!! We got a recond humn bair hugger - do internet search and there are a couple of comapnies do them - then we use the washable blankets from vet instrumentation. Fab for warming up hypothermics quickly and good for preventing it too!! Definitely a worthwhile investment imo.

i agree we have one and they are really good, some people dont like them so they are not used as much.

Forgot to add, it makes massive difference to patients.The patients temperature is always stable throughout surgery when using them. But we find keeping patients warm on premed makes a massive impact on temperature.

Yes we use advanced anaesthesia specialists. www.aasmedical.com really good. The blankets come in all different sizes which is great. They can set you up a contract so you get the machine free if you buy a certain amount of blankets every 3 months. The company are friendly and very efficient.
