Polar Life Pod® 'Ideal' For Heat Stroke Survival
Posted by TAMI FIERLE
The Polar Life Pod® (PLP), manufactured by Polar Products in Stow, Ohio, was compared to the National Athletic Trainers' Association's (NATA) recommended cooling immersion tub for heat illness in a recent research study conducted by Kevin Miller, PhD, AT, ATC, at Central Michigan University. This product offers a new, efficient and innovative way to treat someone suffering from exertional heat stroke (EHS). "In our laboratory study, the Polar Life Pod® cooled subjects at rates considered 'ideal' for exertional heatstroke victims and required less resources than other methods of cooling," Miller stated.
