NIWA’s John McGregor is warmed up nicely after a few minutes under the Bairhugger heat blanket, under the supervision of Dr. Jenny Visser, during a staff hospital tour. The Bairhugger gently reheats someone who has hypothermia and works like a vacuum cleaner in reverse, blowing warm air into the air pockets of the blanket. Photo: Sadie Mills, NIWA.
