Polar Skin Comprehensive Cooling System
- Scientifically proven to reduce core temperature by .09°F/minute in 100°F heat when used according to protocol
- Absolutely portable; when prepared to 0°F and stored in a Polar Skin Cooler with ice, the system maintains an internal temperature of ≤32°F for 17.5 hours in >85°F ambient temperatures
- Excellent thermal transmittance and moisture vapor transmission rate
- Adheres to current National Athletic Trainers’ Association and U.S. Army protocols for heat illness treatment
- Allows for full access to the body while cooling
The Polar Skin™ Comprehensive Cooling System is a highly-effective portable cooling system for the treatment of heat-related illnesses. Consisting of six (6) Polar Skin™ Ice Sheets and four (4) Polar Skin™ C.O.R.E™ Packs, the Polar Skin™ Comprehensive Cooling System is scientifically proven to promote rapid core temperature reduction.
Features of Polar Skin Technology
Polar Skin Mini-Mesh™(n.) A unique smart textile treated with a hydrofunctional polymer. Fiber construction allows for liquid absorptive capacity 350% greater than basis weight.
ArcticAqua™
(n.) A proprietary solution that prevents rigidity well below 0°C (32°F) while providing the requisite moisture to support evaporative, convective, and conductive cooling.
C.O.R.E.™
The improved four-layer flat design that includes the existing outer blanket layer plus two cooling pads and one inner pad that provides maximum cooling retention. The phased layer approach allows for maximum evaporation, convective and conductive heat removal from a hyperthermic patient. The C.O.R.E.™ technology significantly improves the functionality and longevity of the Comprehensive Cooling System compared to the standard gel pack.
C.O.R.E.™
- Vapor and liquid permeable substrate
- Cooling fluids are impregnated within the substrate
- Non-woven conductive barrier layer
- Promotes evaporation, convection, and conduction cooling methods for maximum thermal exchange
- Distributed heat exchange
- Staged phase change materials act as a thermal super capacitor
Gel Packs
- Plastic bag filled and sealed with a polymer gel
- Barrier bags are impermeable to vapor and liquid penetration
- Plastic barrier is non-conductive
- Utilizes conduction for thermal Exchange
- Localized heat exchange
- No materials phase change
