Behind the Scenes with Augustine Surgical: Innovation, Education, and Patient Safety
In 1987, while serving as a resident in the Navy, Dr. Scott Augustine, an anesthesiologist, noticed a common issue—patients frequently shivered when coming out of anesthesia. Determined to improve patient comfort and safety, he invented a warming device that would go on to become one of the most recognized brands in operating rooms worldwide: Bair Hugger. Now, with over 200 patents and three decades of experience, Dr. Augustine continues to innovate and advance healthcare.
At Augustine Surgical, we are committed to delivering solutions that make surgery safer. Brent Augustine, President of Augustine Surgical, is excited to announce a new initiative—a weekly video series covering a range of fascinating topics related to medical device innovation, science, and patient safety.
