Polar Products manufactures the only on-demand, cold-water immersion device: the patent-pending Polar Life Pod® (PLP). The PLP facilitates rapid on-site cooling of individuals, whenever/wherever needed. It’s collapsible, compact and portable, easy to set-up, use and transport.
Cold water immersion (CWI) is recognized as the gold standard method of cooling, and according to the NATA’s position statement on exertional heat illnesses, death from exertional heat stroke (EHS) is 100 percent preventable when proper recognition and treatment protocols are implemented.
A recent study compared the PLP to the standard cooling immersion tub for heat illness, and found the PLP cooled hyperthermia in equal or better time as the TUB and with fewer resources.*
Be prepared with this essential piece of sideline equipment. Make the PLP a part of your emergency action plan today. Learn more: polarlifepod.com.
Polar also specializes in hot/cold therapy products and circulating cold water therapy systems.
