InnerCool introduces CoolBlue patient temperature modulation system

Cardium Therapeutics and its operating unit InnerCool Therapies have launched the CoolBlueTM surface temperature modulation system. CoolBlue external or surface-based temperature modulation system is intended to cool or warm patients from outside of their bodies and is designed for use in less acute settings such as in-hospital fever management. The system includes a console and a disposable CoolBlueTM vest with upper thigh pads. The vest and thigh pads wrap the body without requiring any adhesives to stick to the skin and produce cooling rates of around 1 Degree Celsius per hour by means of inflatable balloon-based catheters.
