Polar Skin Eisplatten - GROSS

How big is the Polar Skin Ice Sheet Large compared to the standard sheet?

The Polar Skin Ice Sheet Large (ZZ-0758) measures 36 inches × 60 inches — double the length of the standard 36"×30" sheet. This provides full head-to-toe coverage for an average adult patient in a single sheet application. Despite the doubled coverage area, it packs to a compact 8.5"×5.5"×1.5" in its foil-sealed pouch, weighing 1.49 lbs.

Is the Polar Skin Ice Sheet Large the same technology as the standard sheets?

Yes. The Large sheet uses identical Polar Skin Mini-Mesh and ArcticAqua technology as the standard 36"×30" sheets. It shares the same 518 CF/M air permeability, 350% greater-than-basis-weight liquid absorption, sub-0°F pliability, and conductive-convective-evaporative (C2E) cooling performance. The only difference is size — 36"×60" instead of 36"×30".

When should I use the Large Ice Sheet instead of the standard sheets?

Use the Large sheet when single-sheet full-body coverage is preferred — particularly for taller or larger patients, bariatric patients, or when time pressure and limited personnel make managing multiple standard sheets impractical. In a two-responder scenario, the Large sheet reduces the time to full-body coverage and simplifies maintenance of skin contact during patient assessment and treatment.

Do Polar Skin Large Ice Sheets come in multipacks?

The Polar Skin Ice Sheet Large (ZZ-0758) is sold as a single-sheet pack. Standard sheets (36"×30") are available in Single, Double, and Triple Pack configurations. For mass casualty heat events requiring large-sheet inventory, multiple Large packs should be ordered and stored in a pre-staged cooler system.

How should the Polar Skin Ice Sheet Large be stored to maintain effectiveness?

Store the Large Ice Sheet in its unopened foil pouch, in a cooler with ice, until deployment. The foil packaging creates an air-and-moisture barrier that preserves the ArcticAqua saturation indefinitely before use. Once removed from the pouch, place the sheet in a cooler with ice to pre-chill. The ArcticAqua solution prevents rigidity below 0°F, so the sheet remains conformable at storage temperatures near or below freezing.
