PRODUCT INFORMATION

Polar Skin · Hyperthermia Cooling

Polar Skin Ice Complete Care Backpack

A carry-to-the-patient cooling system: an insulated backpack cooler loaded with a complete Polar Skin Comprehensive Cooling System. This is the Double Patient configuration — two cooling systems in one pack, for scenes where a second casualty is a realistic prospect. Built for athletic training rooms, military field medicine and EMS working heat.

Double Patient configurationItem # 80-0544 · 21.8 lbs24 hr ice retention in 100°F+Backpack-carried

A cooling kit that lives in the truck is a cooling kit that arrives late. The backpack exists so the ice reaches the athlete on the field, not the other way round.

What's Included

Offered in one configuration — Double Patient. Tap the section to read exactly what ships in the pack.

VIEW ▾Double Patient — item # 80-0544 · 21.8 lbs · two Comprehensive Cooling Systems

1× Polar Skin Backpack Cooler — 0.75 in. high-density foam insulation, food-grade leak-proof and sweat-proof liner, black
4× Polar Skin Ice Sheets, Triple Pack (two Triple Packs per Comprehensive Cooling System, two systems in this configuration)
2× Polar Skin C2E Ice Pack Bundle (one per Comprehensive Cooling System)
Ice is not included. The cooler is the cold-chain container — it holds ice you supply and load before deployment; the published retention figures assume the pack was prepared to the stated starting temperature.

Polar Skin Ice Complete Care Backpack — specifications

Specification	Detail
Manufacturer	Per Vivo Labs / North American Rescue (Polar Skin)

Cooler construction	0.75 in. high-density foam; food-grade leak-proof and sweat-proof liner
Ice retention	24 hours in ambient temperatures above 100°F, per the manufacturer
Internal temperature held	At or below 32°F for 17.5 hours in ambient above 85°F, when the pack is prepared to 0°F — manufacturer figure, conditional on that preparation
Core temperature reduction rate	0.09°F per minute in 100°F heat, per the manufacturer, for the Comprehensive Cooling System
Protocol reference	The manufacturer states the cooling rate is consistent with NATA and U.S. Army heat illness protocols
Color	Black
Contents	Backpack cooler + 4× Ice Sheets (Triple Pack) + 2× C2E Ice Pack Bundle
Ice	Not included — user-supplied
Device class	Cooling equipment. Not a diagnostic device and not a substitute for core temperature measurement.

Every performance figure above is the manufacturer's, and each one is conditional. The 24-hour ice retention and the 17.5-hour sub-32°F figure both depend on how the pack was prepared — the second explicitly assumes a 0°F starting temperature — and neither is a guarantee for a pack loaded warm on a hot morning. The 0.09°F-per-minute figure describes the cooling system's measured rate under a specific test condition (100°F heat), not a rate you should expect to reproduce or plan a treatment timeline against. The manufacturer's statement that the rate is consistent with NATA and U.S. Army heat illness protocols is a comparison to a published guideline, not an endorsement by either body. Cooling thresholds, target core temperatures, when to start, when to stop, and how core temperature is measured are clinical decisions set by your medical direction, your governing body's heat illness policy and your training.

▾Who Carries It

Athletic trainers and sports medicine staff covering practices and competition in heat, where exertional heat illness is the predictable emergency and cooling has to start where the athlete drops · Military field medicine and unit medics running training cycles in hot climates · EMS and event medical teams at endurance races, marches and outdoor mass-gathering events · Industrial and wildland safety officers supporting crews working long shifts in heat · Any team whose cooling capability currently lives in a fixed treatment station and needs it to move to the patient instead.

The Double Patient configuration exists for a specific reason: heat illness at an organized event rarely presents alone, and a second casualty while the first is still being cooled is a foreseeable scenario. Buy the capacity you would actually need at once, not the capacity you would need on an average day. Prepare and load the pack before the event, not on arrival — the published retention figures assume a cold start, and a pack loaded warm will not hold. Recognizing exertional heat stroke, deciding to cool, measuring core temperature, setting a target and deciding when to stop are clinical judgments governed by your licensure, your medical direction and your organization's heat illness policy. This equipment supports that decision; it does not make it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is included in the Polar Skin Complete Care Backpack?

The Single Patient configuration includes one Polar Skin Backpack Cooler (black), two Polar Skin Ice Sheets Triple Packs, and one Polar Skin C2E Ice Pack Bundle (four C.O.R.E™ packs). The Double Patient configuration doubles the cooling system contents: one Backpack Cooler, four Ice Sheet Triple Packs, and two C2E Ice Pack Bundles — enough to simultaneously treat two heat stroke patients using full NATA/U.S. Army protocol.

How fast does the Polar Skin Complete Care Backpack cool a heat stroke patient?

The Polar Skin Comprehensive Cooling System inside the backpack is scientifically proven to reduce core temperature by 0.09°F per minute in 100°F ambient heat when used according to protocol — a rate consistent with NATA and U.S. Army guidelines for effective exertional heat stroke management. This rate is achieved by simultaneously applying Ice Sheets to the torso and C2E packs to the groin and underarms.

How long does the backpack cooler keep ice cold?

The Polar Skin Backpack Cooler maintains ice for 24 hours in temperatures exceeding 100°F. When the cooling system is prepared to 0°F and stored in the cooler, an internal temperature of ≤32°F is maintained for 17.5 hours in ambient temperatures above 85°F. This cold-chain performance allows the system to be pre-staged hours before an event and remain ready throughout extended operations.

What is the difference between the Polar Skin Complete Care Backpack and the Complete Care Pack?

Both contain the same Polar Skin Comprehensive Cooling System (Ice Sheets + C2E Bundle). The key difference is the carry format: the Complete Care Pack uses a traditional soft cooler (with a padded shoulder strap), while the Complete Care Backpack uses a backpack-style cooler for hands-free carry. The backpack format is preferred for field response situations where the provider needs to walk to or work around the patient while carrying the system.

Is the Polar Skin Complete Care Backpack compliant with military heat illness treatment protocols?

Yes. All Polar Skin products, including the Complete Care Backpack system, adhere to current National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) and U.S. Army protocols for heat illness treatment. The system's effectiveness has been validated by the University of Tennessee Nonwovens Research Lab and its use is consistent with the U.S. Army's approach to aggressive, rapid cooling in exertional heat stroke casualties.
