The Bair Hugger system is a convective temperature management system used in a hospital or surgery center to maintain a patient's core body temperature. The Bair Hugger system consists of a reusable warming unit and single-use disposable warming blankets for use before, during and after surgery. This medical device launched in and is currently manufactured by the 3M Company. The Bair Hugger system uses convective warming, also known as forced-air warming, to prevent and treat perioperative hypothermia.

The Bair Hugger temperature monitoring system 3M UK is a non-invasive device that can accurately and continuously measure the patient's core body temperature before, during and after surgery known collectively as the perioperative phase. The system consists of a single-use zero-heat flux sensor and a reusable sensor cable, control unit and power supply. An optional monitor cable is also available for connection to other patient monitoring systems. The sensor is placed on the patient's forehead and is held in place by an adhesive backing.
