Clinical area
Heat-stroke response
Portable cooling for trained medical teams responding at the scene and during transport.
CarbonCool® devices are for use by trained medical personnel only.
01 / Response pathway
Prepare the response pathway
Before deployment
Stage the configured kit
Freeze MPads according to the instructions for use, select the body-weight configuration and keep the system accessible to trained staff.
At the scene
Follow the clinical protocol
Assess and stabilise the patient under the service's heat-illness protocol, then apply CarbonCool® according to the instructions for use.
During cooling
Monitor and reassess
Use a separate core-temperature monitor, check skin condition and coordinate onward transport and handoff.
02 / Research

Exploring the Potential of CarbonCool® in Rapid Prehospital Cooling for Severe Heat Stroke (opens in a new tab)
Kido N, Tagami T, Otake K, et al. · Prehospital Emergency Care 28(7):905-909 · Two case reports · 2024
Configuration studied: CarbonCool suit components; configuration varied between cases
In two older patients with severe classic heat stroke, CarbonCool cooling began at the scene and continued during transport and hospital care. Both patients were discharged without reported disability. These observations come from two uncontrolled cases.
