Trade Show Partner – PolarCool
PolarCool is a medical device company that develops, markets, and sells products for sports medicine to teams, organizations and athletes. The company focuses on treating concussive and sub-concussive brain injuries with its portable cooling device, PolarCap®—a clinically proven acute treatment designed to improve concussion recovery and shorten return-to-play time.
PolarCap® has been clinically evaluated in a 5-year study conducted in partnership with Lund University and the Swedish Hockey League (SHL). The results showed that treated players returned to play significantly sooner, with immediate acute symptom relief. Most notably, the study revealed that long-term concussion absences (lasting three weeks or more) were greatly reduced among players treated with PolarCap®.
The solution is based on the scientific evidence that elevated brain temperature after injury can worsen outcomes. PolarCap® aims to rapidly and safely reduce exercise-induced brain temperature following an injury, helping to mitigate its impact.
PolarCool’s mission is to enhance athlete safety by reducing the severity of head injuries through effective cooling. Along with the PolarCap® System, the company offers educational resources on concussion and its risks. Staying true to our slogan, "We Protect Sports," PolarCool provides a safe, clinically validated treatment to aid in recovery from head injuries.
PolarCool AB (publ) is based in Lund, Sweden, and its shares are listed on the Spotlight Stock Market. For more information, visit: http://www.polarcool.se
