SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cardium Therapeutics (AMEX:CXM) and its operating unit InnerCool Therapies have initiated the launch of InnerCool’s new CoolBlue™ surface temperature modulation system. InnerCool’s new CoolBlue surface temperature modulation system, which includes a console and a disposable CoolBlue™ vest with upper thigh pads, is designed to provide a complementary tool for use in less acute patients or in clinical settings best suited to prolonged temperature management. InnerCool’s CoolBlue vest and thigh pads wrap the body without requiring any adhesives to stick to the skin and produce cooling rates of around 1° C per hour, i.e. similar to those of currently-marketed surface cooling systems and endovascular systems using inflatable balloon-based catheters.
