FAST. FLEXIBLE. MOBILE.
The EMCOOLS Pad is a non invasive, surface-cooling device for patients requiring induced mild therapeutic hypothermia, general temperature reduction or localised temperature reduction. The pads require no power and are simply prefrozen in a standard freezer (-8 to -11°C) before application to the body.
EMCOOLS PADS APPLIED IN ONLY 2 MINUTES !!
The pads are applied by peeling off the back foil and sticking the pads onto the core body surface area of the patient. The medical adhesive on the backside of the pads is dermatologically tested to be skin friendly.

ADVANTAGES IN COMPARISON TO OTHER COOLING METHODS
- Application - in only 2 minutes !!
- Portable - no power system required whilst in use
- High cooling capacity - pads are only on the body for short periods of time
- Radioluminescent - no interruption to cooling during angioplasty or x-ray
- User friendly - low nursing effort required
- Suitable for induction and maintenance of cooling
- Low investment cost
EMCOOLS Pads are filled with HypoCarbon® which gives the pads a very high thermal conductivity, allowing for rapid patient cooling as pads are placed on the body. Unlike ice, the patient stays dry during the cooling process because as the HypoCarbon® melts it stays within the cells of the pads.
EMCOOLS Pads are scalable for cooling any size of patient - the larger the patient the more pads you use, the smaller the patient then the less pads you need.
