Textile Fabric for Inducing Mild Hypothermia

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention relates to a textile material designed to induce mild hypothermia in the human body. The material incorporates phase change materials (PCMs) encapsulated in macrocapsules, placed between a body-contacting textile layer and a separating/compensation layer, with an additional outer protective textile layer.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Emergency medical blankets for trauma or cardiac arrest patients to lower their body temperature
• Cooling garments for athletes to prevent heat stroke or improve recovery
• Surgical pads or covers to maintain patients at desired temperatures during medical procedures
• Protective clothing for firefighters or workers in hot environments
• Wearable vests for people with multiple sclerosis or other heat-sensitive conditions

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Provides controlled, mild cooling to induce therapeutic hypothermia
• Non-invasive and comfortable compared to traditional cooling methods
