Delta Five Innovations Launches Portable Hypothermia Prevention Solutions

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Greenville, South Carolina, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) September 26, 2011 --

GREENVILLE, SC (September 26, 2011) – Delta Five Innovations (D5), a research and development arm of North American Rescue, has developed a suite of hypothermia prevention products solely focused on dramatically decreasing preventable death, and improving patient outcomes through patient thermal management. Created in response to requests from the military and tactical medical communities for forward thinking medical technology, this suite of products has been branded as ARC°tc™ (Active Rewarming Conduction Temperature Control) and offers several highly portable solutions that address the limitations of current hypothermia prevention devices on the market.

Delta Five Innovations (D5) recently showcased the entire ARC°tc™ “suite” of products currently in development at the Advanced Technology Applications for Combat Casualty Care (ATACCC) Trade Show in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. There is an extraordinarily high association between hypothermia and mortality in trauma casualties. D5 is developing these devices in response to anecdotal data which indicates that significant attention should be paid to early intervention, with heat loss prevention starting as soon after wounding as tactically possible.

“The scope of new products in development by D5 offer ‘game changing’ thermal technology,” stated Samuel D. Wyman III, President of North American Rescue. “We are constantly taking the pulse of our customer to hear what they need and we answer swiftly with solutions that meet or exceed those requirements.”

The ARC°tc™ technology allows for extremely flexible, versatile, light-weight and durable heaters with the critical added benefit of extremely low current draw. The battery life attainable with this heating technology surpasses all existing competing technologies by 30-50%. Better battery life translates into improved portability, longer heating durations and better patient outcomes.

North American Rescue (NAR), based in Greer, South Carolina, has proudly enjoyed the honor of serving their country, community, and customers for over a decade. NAR is leading the way in decreasing preventable deaths by providing innovative casualty care solutions to our uniformed soldiers, first responders, health care professionals, and security forces both at home, and abroad in foreign combat zones.
