Theproduct, called Spenco Cool Skin, has a feel andconsistency much like human skin. It is made from a stablehydrogel of water trapped in a thin net of polyethylene.When placed against the skin, the gel sheetingimmediately cools the body temperature by a process ofevaporation, much like a room cooler. Because the skin iscompletely covered with evaporative hydrogel, incontrast to sponging which covers only approximately10% of the skin at one time, the product is extremelyeffective for lowering body temperature and reducingskin pain. In addition, it will not wet or soil clothes or bedsheets and may be used repeatedly. No refrigeration isnecessary.Contact: Max Beasley, Marketing Director, SportsMedicine Division.
