Rapid, selective, deep cooling of the brain (cerebral hypothermia). Numerous studies have proven the potential for hypothermia to protect the brain where lack of oxygen threatens to destroy brain tissue. The unique design of TwinFlo™ results in more rapid and deeper localized cooling of the brain, while maintaining the remainder of the body at normal temperature (“selective hypothermia”). This differs from other hypothermia treatments that are unable to bring the brain to a sufficiently low temperature without significant total-body cooling and detrimental systemic effects. The design also permits selective drug and/or device delivery concurrent with the hypothermia treatment. Use of the catheter will be familiar to the large number of interventional physicians on staff at most hospitals.
