An Innovative Idea for Targeted Temperature Management
CarbonCool full body suit utilizes the Mpad System that is environmentally friendly and electrode compatiable. Mpad system enables early application and transportation of a targeted temperature management system for pre-hospital emergency
Why We Need Targeted Temperature Management
Patients who suffered from a cardiac arrest have a high risk of having neurological injury if not treated in a timely manner. Studies have shown that hypothermia can help improve survivability and neurologic outcome of patients who successfully resuscitated from cardiac arrest.
CarbonCool Full Body Suit Design and Functionality
CarbonCool Design
The product has a simple design that includes an outer pad with pockets to store Mpad cooling packs. The MPad™ is the heart of the CarbonCool® system. Made from a flexible yet durable thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), it encases a proprietary carbon-based cooling medium, capable of delivering outstanding heat exchange at 35W/mK, while also being non-toxic and environmentally friendly. MPad™ melts evenly compared to typical cooling solutions like ice and water, resulting in minimal insulation and an efficient cooling process. MPad™ has the highest efficacy when frozen and firmly in contact with the patient’s skin. It is also electrode compatible, providing continuous cooling during imaging.
"the CarbonCool suit can cool a patient's body to 34 deg C in an average of 73 minutes"
- said SGH senior clinical research coordinator Nur Shahidah Ahmad.
CarbonCool full body suit rapidly cools the body temperature at the rate of 2.1°C/hr, which is similar in performance compared to other targeted temperature management equipments used in hospital. The combination of simple design and powerful performance enables the application and transportation of a cooling system for in and out of hospital emergency, providing early and continuous cooling for the patient.
Furthermore, CarbonCool full body suit simplifies the training process for hospitals.
