Product Information
ThermaQuatic ®, Inc. has developed Cool-n-Heat®, a thermoelectric class II medical device for body temperature regulation. Cool-n-Heat is ideal for pain management and personal comfort associated with chronic illness, injury and disability.
The global patient temperature regulation market was valued at $2.3 billion in 2016 and is forecast to experience attractive growth due to increasing numbers of surgical procedures, alone. Americans seeking relief from chronic conditions and other ailments affecting quality of life is conservatively estimated at 157.6 million.
With virtually no competition in its space, Cool-n-Heat fills a market void by selling into both medical and homecare settings by physician prescription. Price, portability, and performance give Cool-n-Heat a distinct advantage in the competitive arena. These attributes also mean access to a greater number of patients suffering from a larger number of concerns.
A brand new medical grade entry in the body temperature regulation category, this forerunner has the power and capability you’d expect from cumbersome “big box” units, with the convenience and ease-of-use to move from hospital to home. Only Cool-n-Heat can make these claims.
ThermaQuatic has patents pending on wireless thermoelectric heating and cooling, and alternating pressure for ultimate patient comfort of the bedridden.
Once you’ve taken a deeper look, you’ll see why Cool-n-Heat is a “powerhouse in a small package.”
