[NEW] Innovative emergency heated chest protector to combat hypothermia Therm-Up®

Heated dungarees from Therm-Up from the French start-up Thermo Trauma is an innovative medical device that is very will quickly become an indispensable part of mountain rescue teams and first aid trackers!


Therm-Up® was developed for first responder rescue teams:

The fight against cooling by first responders is crucial when caring for an avalanche victim.


Partially or completely buried, an avalanche victim will undoubtedly cool down very quickly.

The cooling of the victim is related to the hostile environment (snow, cold, wind, humidity, etc.) Prolonged immobilization in this Environment and external influences such as poor clothing or the cool gust of wind from an approaching helicopter.


When severe trauma is involved - as in many cases with avalanches, everything becomes complicated!< /p >

In fact, the severity of the injury is a significant factor in hypothermia, regardless of the environment or climate.

The energy required by an avalanche victim's body to combat hypothermia and serious injuries will be enormous.


| << This waste of energy could be avoided by active and early heat provision >>


This excessive energy expenditure calls into question the prognosis of the seriously injured, as Doctor Thomas SPADONI from the emergency room explained to us. Emergencies at the Briançon hospital, mountain rescue doctor and co-founder of the Thermo Trauma company:

“ The fight against colds is associated with energetic costs for the body and uses the same energy reserves as the fight against blood loss and leads This can lead to shock and hypothermia if they are exhausted.

This energy “waste” could be avoided through the active and early supply of heat, especially at the “core” level The vital organs are concentrated, which is not the case with the passive systems that we primarily use for procedures.

This heat supply strategy should become one of our priorities for ALL injured people if we want to improve their comfort and help them achieve further significant decline the morbidity and mortality of polytrauma patients. ”


The innovative "Hypothermia" Therm-Up® is an active heating solution with integrated rechargeable batteries that can be reused in the field after disinfection.

It allows rescuers to actively warm the victim early to better protect them from hypothermia and improve their prognosis in the event of an event improve severe associated trauma.

Its ease of use, its autonomy, its relatively low weight and its certification to medical standards make it a real innovative equipment that quickly finds its place in mountain rescue teams and first aid trackers!
