Accelerate Your Rehab

Core cooling response time begins within 30 seconds 

Get Cool. Recover Faster.

Firefighters operate in the most physically demanding, extreme-heat environments on the planet. CoolMitt® accelerates  recovery from heat stress by boosting your bodies cooling process so you can recover faster.

How It Works

• CoolMitt harnesses the body’s natural radiators, the hands, which release heat over 500% greater than other skin surfaces.
  
• During an incident, the combination of heat and PPE can lead to high core body temperature.
• Placing a free hand in the rapid thermal exchange mitt during rehab begins to boost the body's cooling process.
  
• Heat is whisked away from the hand and cooled blood is sent back to the heart to cool from the inside out.
• The result? Rapid cooling of core body temperature up to 3X faster.

CASE STUDY:  Homewood, Alabama Firefighters

• Over two days, 10 Firefighters performed three 20-minute training evolutions per day in full PPE with SCBA, breathing off the bottle.
• They had 15-minute rehab sessions after each evolution.
• Half the group used CoolMitt for 10 minutes and half did not.
• The groups switched on the second training day, so each person used CoolMitt during rehab for one of the two training days.
• The graph shows that when using CoolMitt, firefighters recovered 3x faster in the first minute and 2x faster over three minutes.
• This demonstrates that even with limited rehab time, CoolMitt can have dramatic impact on recovery.
