Two Cool Inc., manufacturer of Coldone Branded Ice Compression Wraps introduces a revolutionary new re-freezable Ice Vest to reduce body core temperature for emergency treatment of hyperthermia (heat stroke).
The Coldone Hyperthermia Ice Vest is provided with a soft sided re-freezable cooler. Both products are frozen in a commercial or home freezer prior to taking them to the field. The Vest will stay frozen for several hour in the cooler as long as it is kept out of direct sunlight or stored in a very hot environment such as a car trunk.
As soon as an athlete is suspected to be experiencing overheating, the frozen vest should be immediately applied directly against the skin or over a shirt. Immediately the combination of Icing and Compression drive the cold deep into the soft tissues of the upper body and dramatically decrease the body’s core temperature.
The Hyperthermia Vest is completely portable and should be worn as the athlete is taken to an emergency medical facility. It is advised to call 911 as a first course of action and follow the advice.
