Combat heat stress with active cooling. The Kore Kooler provides an
effective means of lowering body temperature through hand and forearm
immersion. Combined with resting and hydration, hand and forearm
immersion is an effective way for firefighters and responders to lower
the impact of stress on their health and safety.
The Kore Kooler Rehab Chair relies on direct contact of the skin with
a large volume of water through immersion (each arm reservoir can hold
two gallons of water). After each rehab, the bags are removed with
the water they contain and a new bag is inserted to be filled with clean
water. Use this cooling chair for general seating and relaxation by simply
snapping in the armrest flaps that securely cover the water reservoirs.
How does forearm immersion work to relieve heat stress? Heat is
transferred from your hotter arms/hands to the water in the reservoirs,
and the cooled blood flows back throughout the body picking up more heat
for subsequent removal. This approach works quickly to rehabilitate you
from heat stress and minimizes the potential for continued core
temperature rise, which commonly occurs after exertion in hot weather
conditions.
