What will it enable you to do? Cool rapidly & effectively from the body core out Work longer in extreme environments Maximize your athletic performance CoreControlTM powered by RTX is noninvasive and easy to use - to cool, just place your hand on the cooling plate! CoreControl is enabled by the patented Rapid Thermal eXchange ("RTX") technology providing a revolutionary and novel way to manipulate core body temperature and accelerate the body's natural heat dissipation process. This technology has evolved out of many years of research at Stanford University and has been scientifically validated in performance laboratories. It has also been field-tested by many collegiate and professional athletes, teams, and industrial workers. Studies involving athletes, firefighters and electrical workers have validated the effectiveness of this new cooling method and demonstrated remarkable results. For the athlete, CoreControlTM powered by RTX has tremendous implications for enhancing strength and endurance training. CoreControl helps keep core body temperature within normal range for optimal muscular performance. If you stay cool, less blood is shunted to the skin for heat dissipation, making more blood available to service working muscles with delivery of oxygen and nutrients, and removal of metabolic byproducts. CoreControl has been shown to enhance an athlete's work capacity during both aerobic and strength training, especially when the athlete is working at or near maximum performance levels.

How it Works

Elevated core body temperature is a problem for many, including athletes, industrial workers, miners, firefighters and soldiers. Emergency medical responders and physicians are often overwhelmed by heat stress incidents. Anyone regularly subjected to exertion in sweltering conditions knows what heat can do to performance. As the temperature of the body's core organs (heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and brain) rise, fatigue sets in and strength, endurance and cognitive functions deteriorate rapidly.

CoreControl™ powered by RTX was originally developed on the principles of mammalian thermoregulation. All mammals have "radiators," specific regions of the body surface designed for dissipating excess heat from the body core to the environment - think of a dog's tongue, or rabbits' ears. Blood is preferentially pumped to these surfaces when metabolism increases as it does during exercise. In humans, some of these radiator surfaces are found in the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. When an athlete gets hot, blood flow naturally increases through these skin regions to dissipate heat through specialized blood vessels called arteriovenous anastomoses (AVAs). CoreControl™ enhances heat extraction through these radiator surfaces by amplifying local blood flow using a proprietary and scientific combination of carefully controlled temperature settings and slight vacuum. One doesn't really feel CoreControl effects so much as a cooling sensation, but rather as the sensation of being refreshed or less fatigued.

Conventional methods of cooling the body include remedies typically applied to the skin's surface (i.e., misting fans, ice packs, cold water, etc.). While such solutions often make one "feel" cooler temporarily, they are generally ineffective at cooling the body's core organs. This is a result of two phenomena: First, these treatments are applied to the skin's surface, and thus have difficulty penetrating the body's insulating layers of tissue. Second, the cold temperatures of these remedies can result in a vasoconstriction of the peripheral blood vessels and actually cause a reverse of the desired effect by shutting down the natural heat dissipation mechanisms.

Over the last two years, studies have targeted individuals with maximized exercise workloads in hot environments. These studies show dramatic improvements in recovery from heat stress. Use of the RTX technology reduced the rate of core temperature rise during exercise and increased the rate of core temperature decline following exercise resulting in increased speed, strength and endurance and reduced risk of heat and dehydration related injuries (e.g., cramping).

For those working in extreme environments or those susceptible to heat stress, CoreControl™ can help keep the core body temperature within the zone for optimal performance. When overheated, it cools the body rapidly and non-invasively to reduce fatigue, increase endurance and strength, and improve cognitive function.
