Cooling vests in healthcare | Cooling apparel

Protect our health heroes from the dangers of heat.

Caregivers who work hard every day to improve the health of others need support during extreme heat and high humidity.

It is important to keep them cool so they can stay focused during long and arduous shifts and recover faster. Hospitals around the world are using cooling vests for healthcare personnel.

With global warming, heat and humidity are increasing. This makes it extra important to keep caregivers cool while working. Measures such as appropriate clothing and adequate drinking help, but are often not enough.

In hospitals worldwide, from the Netherlands to Asiaë and the Middle East, cooling vests are used by doctors and nurses, especially in intensive care units. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this use peaked. Consistent performance in health care requires focus, composure and making the right decisions. This is made easier by keeping body temperature stable. Cooling vests allow healthcare workers to better regulate their body temperature, helping them stay focused during long shifts and recover faster.

INUTEQ offers a revolutionary solution for healthcare providers with their PAC cooling technology. Whereas this technology was once only available to Olympic athletes, it is now widely used in healthcare.

The bio-based PCM (Phase Change Material) is available in five different temperatures: 6.5°C, 15°C, 21°C, 24°C and 29°C. This allows caregivers to adjust the temperature to their specific working conditions. For example, a nurse working with coronapatiënts in intensive care may need a different temperature than someone caring for other patientsënts in a hospital.

INUTEQ's phase change technology offers high latent heat capacity, which is ideal for thermal management applications. INUTEQ is the only supplier of 100% bio-based, USDA-certified and REACH-registered PCM cooling vests. These vests not only provide cooling to keep caregivers focused and productive, but also have other benefits, such as:

Long-term stability,
Safe use,
Improved fire safety,
High latent heat capacity,
Made from recyclable materials,

Caregivers who have used INUTEQ's PCM CoolOver report staying comfortable and cool over long shifts, with a natural-feeling temperature on the skin. INUTEQ carefully designs each cooling vest so that it does not cause skin damage or discomfort such as tissue damage or frostbite.

Using a PCM cooling vest is simple:

Activate the vest by placing it in the refrigerator, freezer or iced water, or store it at a temperature 3°C lower than the PCM temperature until it is fully fixed.
Wear the cooling vest directly over your functional shirt and under your clothing.
Enjoy instant and constant cooling at a chosen temperature, for example 21°C, for up to 3 hours or longer.

Care patients also appreciate the Bodycool Smart-X for their outdoor activities. This vest offers a natural way of cooling and is easily activated by adding tap water. The vest starts cooling immediately and remains comfortable, lightweight and dry on both the inside and outside. Depending on temperature and humidity, the cooling effect can last from 8 hours to 3 days.
