Why Targeted Temperature Management
The most common cause of death among patients hospitalized after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is neurological injury. Many studies have shown that the most effective way to improve the patient’s outcome of an OHCA is by minimizing brain injury through rapid cooling of the patient’s core body temperature as well as good implementation of intensive care protocols.

How It Works
The Full Body Suit™ when combined with the MPad™ is a whole body passive cooling system designed to induce rapid hypothermia at a rate of 2.1ºC/hr for post cardiac arrest treatment. It contains 4 high quality pads that wraps around the body providing intensive and consistent cooling; the chest pad, abdomen pad, and two thigh pads. The complete portability of the system allows uninterrupted cooling that is unmatched by any other solution.
Portable And Cost-Effective
The Full Body Suit™ will allow more treatment flexibility and cost savings when applying Targeted Temperature Management. Hospitals can also begin using Targeted Temperature Management for out-of-hospital cooling, where machines are limited to in-hospital use, require extensive training and maintenance, and are overall expensive to adopt.

Benefits
Lower Cost
Inexpensive, earth-abundant materials and a simple, elegant design, to promote the adoption of TTM worldwide.
Vital Early Cooling
Apply therapeutic hypothermia to the patient at the scene, improving the immediacy of treatment for the patient.
Easy To Apply
The system takes up little space while on standby and allow quick application of the pads to the patient's body.
Continuous Cooling
Cooling can be applied continuously during CPR, imaging and percutaneous coronary intervention.

Case Study
Novel Wearable Cooling Device For Early Initiation of Targeted Temperature Management in the Emergency Department: A Retrospective Cohort Study
A cohort study done in Singapore has found that patients who were cooled with the CarbonCool® Full Body Suit™, post ROSC after cardiac arrest, resulted in a shorter time to target temperature when compared against patients cooled with icepacks and cold saline.
The technology at the heart of the system makes cooling with CarbonCool® more cost-effective, powerful and capable — engineered for simplicity and ease of use. It's our simplest, most effective passive cooling system yet.
