Arctic Sun > Key Advantages
Early Initiation and Rapid Cooling
The clock on cooling rates begins when the therapy begins. Treatment with the Arctic Sun can be initiated within a matter of minutes. Published studies indicate the hypothermia cooling rates achieved with the Arctic Sun average 1.0-1.5°C/hour.
Safe
To control the temperature of critically ill patients, the Arctic Sun is the safest method in the market today.
• Hydrogel-based ArcticGel Pads—similar material to that used in wound dressings
• Non-invasive—does not pose additional patient risks of infection or DVT
• Pads can remain in place during MRI, CT Scan, and X-ray procedures—time and nursing labor are optimized
• No leaks: Through patented technology, water flows through the ArcticGel pads under negative pressure. Inadvertent punctures do not leak water into the critical care environment.
