>> The CORECONTROL™ GLOVE allows firefighters to cool their core blood temperature in minutes to prevent overheating and organ failure. Conventional cooling methods involve placing ice packs or cold water on the skin’s surface, which creates a chilling sensation but fails to decrease the organs’ core temperatures. CoreControl technology provides rapid heat extraction, preventing heat illness and increasing firefighters’ endurance so they can work longer in hot environments. http://www.corecontrolcooling.com“>www.corecontrolcooling.com.
