With this product the Hohenstein researchers have managed to develop a new non-invasive method for surface cooling of the body. That means no surgical procedure is required and in contrast to conventional cooling systems it can be used directly at the place of emergency without any power source.

“The cooling pads harbour enormous potential in the neurological rehabilitation after cardiac arrests”, explains Prof. Dr. Dirk Höfer. “In addition to the benefits for the affected individual, every prevented case of invalidity is also a great financial advantage for the general public.”

Even though the researchers are looking for an industrial partner for production and sales of the cooling pads for the time being, they are already contemplating other innovative applications for textile cooling and heating processes in medicine.
