Arterial cooling elements for use with a cervical immobilization collar

摘要

A kit for cooling the blood in the carotid arteries includes a cervical immobilization collar and a cooling element. The cooling element may include a body-facing panel attached on a body-facing surface to a lining layer, an outward-facing panel, and cooling material disposed between the body-facing panel and the outward facing panel. The cooling material may comprise urea and Carbamakool™ in an amount sufficient to produce a temperature of 20° F. to 35° F. within a minute of activation when measured on the body-facing surface of the body-facing panel.

主权项

1. A cooling element comprising:
a body-facing panel, an outward-facing panel, a cooling material disposed between the body-facing panel and the outward facing panel, and a lining layer, wherein the lining layer comprises non-woven material; wherein the cooling material is capable of producing a temperature of 20° F. to 35° F. within a minute of activation at ambient temperature, when measured on a body-facing surface of the body-facing panel; wherein the cooling material comprises water, urea, and an endothermic ingredient; and wherein the cooling material comprises a greater amount of the urea than the endothermic ingredient by mass.
