Bair Hugger Forced Air Warming Blanket Infection Injuries

The Bair Hugger blanket is used to regulate a patient's body temperature during surgery using forced warm air.

The warm air discharged from the device creates convection currents allowing bacteria from the floor to be carried up towards the surgical vent and into the patient's surgical site. This can cause a serious deep joint or periprosthetic joint infection.

Your surgical team may have used the Bair Hugger forced air warming blanket during your joint replacement surgery if you developed an infection after the procedure.

If you or a loved one has had any side effects following a joint replacement surgery, then take a look at our "Drugs123" system to find out how you may be entitled to a cash reward.
