Energy Transfer Pad Design
The Arctic Sun provides a highly efficient non-invasive method of cooling or rewarming patients. The combination of the Arctic Sun Control Module and Arctic Sun Energy Transfer Pads were designed to simulate water immersion. The Arctic Sun Energy Transfer Pads have a three layer construction. An inner hydrogel layer, an ultra-thin middle layer, through which the water circulates at high velocity, and an outer insulating foam layer, which prevents heat loss. Hydrogel is a biocompatible, pH balanced, skin-friendly material that provides uniform skin contact for high thermal conduction.
The Arctic Sun Energy Transfer Pads offer an entirely different approach to surface cooling. With conventional water blankets or wraps, air is trapped between the cooling source and the skin. The patient is then cooled by cold air (convection). The Energy Transfer Pads are applied directly to the patient's skin to provide direct thermal conduction through the skin. Temperature controlled water circulates at a high velocity through the Energy Transfer Pads, resulting in efficient heat exchange from the water to the patient.

Leak-Proof Technology™
Water circulates under negative pressure, which minimizes the risk of leakage in case of accidental pad puncture. This flow pattern enables a thin pad design, making the pads more comfortable for the patient and less cumbersome for nurses to administer patient care.
The Energy Transfer Pads cover approximately 40% of the patient's body surface area for effective patient cooling. The pads are applied to chest and thigh areas. The minimal surface coverage enables excellent access administering patient care.

The Arctic Sun Energy Transfer Pads are single use, radiolucent and latex free. The pads can be peeled back and reapplied numerous times. The pads are effective for at least 72 hours before replacement is needed, as they may begin to dry out and may lose adhesiveness.
The Energy Transfer Pads have been designed to accommodate a wide variety of anatomical shapes and sizes.
A standard pad kit consisting of four pads can accommodate patients between 45-100 kg (100-220 lb). One or two additional universal pads can be added for patients weighing greater than 100 kg (220 lb). Patients over 225 kg (500 lb) have been cooled with the Arctic Sun.
