3M™ Bair Paws™ System
Gown Basics

Patient gowning, clinical and comfort warming – all in one product

Pre-op – Hypothermia is easier to prevent than treat, and prevention is most effective when the warming begins in pre-op and continues in the OR. Surgical patients quickly lose body heat due to the induction of anesthesia; however, by prewarming, or adding to the heat content of the body before surgery, much of this temperature drop can be offset.

OR - When patients arrive in the OR wearing the 3M™ Bair Paws™ gown, the surgical team has immediate access to a convenient, ready-to-use warming option with a 3M™ Bair Hugger™ warming unit.

PACU - In Post-op settings, the Bair Paws system can provide either clinical or comfort warming.
