Capable of reducing core body temperatures by up to five degrees in under three minutes, the device is designed to stabilise individuals until emergency medical services can take over.

The ColdVest operates using a patented endothermic cooling technology that does not rely on electricity, refrigeration or ice, making it highly portable and easy to use.

To activate, three litres of liquid are added to the device’s integrated bladder, triggering the cooling chemicals and allowing the vest to be placed over the torso for immediate cooling effects.

ColdVentures co-founder and CEO Tracie Wagman said: “Heat-related deaths have been increasing dramatically in recent years, with estimates ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of incidents annually worldwide.
