A new type of innovative cooling pad, EMCOOLS is 15 times more efficient than ice, and has been introduced to the U.S. market from Austria.
They are a non-invasive surface cooling system designed for rapid temperature reduction, providing a highly efficient hourly cooling rate of 3.3°C or 5.94°F. The patented, non-invasive HypoCarbon® Pads are very easy to apply and they are X-ray, CT and MRI compatible, meaning emergency medical treatment can continue. They’re an effective addition to cold fluid therapy or can be used alone for hypothermia treatment.
How they work
Flex.Pads have a peel and stick adhesive backing. You can stick two or three on the torso and one on each thigh. The large pad measures about 12 inches by 8 inches, and the small ones are 4 inches by 8 inches.
Flex.Pad N is designed for use on the head and neck, with curved pieces that wrap over the shoulders.
Flex.Pad and Flex.Pad N have no power requirements and you don’t need any special equipment. You just freeze them flat in your station freezer and then store them in insulated boxes onboard. Every shift you switch them out for fresh ones.
The insulating Six.Pack case is designed for mobile deployment. It ensures operational readiness for up to 12 hours without any power supply.
