TrueCool® therapeutic hypothermia devices (TTM)

TrueCool® targeted temperature management device is an advanced hypothermia system used to deliberately reduce the core body temperature in patients who do not regain consciousness after the return of spontaneous circulation following a cardiac arrest, ischemic stroke, or in newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. This non-invasive cooling blanket ICU device is essential in modern medical practice.

The TrueCool® targeted temperature management system, which functions as a hypo/hyperthermia unit, is based on a control unit for regulating temperature in combination with various pads and blankets. The algorithm, based on information on the patient’s current core temperature, manages water temperature in pads and blankets. Cooling (or warming, depending on the requirement) pads and blankets are non-invasive and are a very effective solution to manage a patient’s temperature in a controlled manner.

A variety of patient covers is available in both disposable and reusable versions, making the cooling blanket system adaptable to various clinical needs. The device control software is intuitive, user-friendly, and gives the user the option of choosing automatic or manual modes, ensuring precise patient temperature management.

Therapeutic hypothermia

Therapeutic hypothermia, TTM, is a patient condition induced by the TrueCool cooling system using non-invasive pads and blankets. Hypothermia involves the controlled lowering of body temperature to alleviate secondary organ damage that occurs after the initial injury. Clinicians have been increasingly using therapeutic hypothermia to prevent or ameliorate various types of neurological injury and more recently for some forms of cardiac injury.

Treatment benefits

reduction of perfusion rate
decreased ischemic injury and brain necrosis
decreased reperfusion injury
extending the time window to perform endovascular procedures
avoiding long-term neurologic dysfunction, permanent disabilities or even death

Indications

post cardiac arrest patients
patients with brain damage
patients after ischemic stroke
newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy
febrile patients
accidental hypothermic patients
during endovascular procedures
trauma patients
