Velomedix is a development stage medical device company created to realize the clinical potential of mild therapeutic hypothermia in benefiting patients suffering from ischemic and reperfusion injury effects of cardiac arrest, heart attack, stroke and traumatic brain injury. A comprehensive review of the medical literature demonstrates that cooling protects cells at risk, prevents tissue death and preserves organ function. Therapeutic Hypothermia offers a novel solution for the protection of the body's organs during ischemic insults and later from reperfusion injury. Cooling protects tissue during ischemia by reducing oxygen metabolism, inflammation and maintaining cell membrane integrity. In the case of reperfusion injury hypothermia reduces oxidative stress, micro vascular clogging, free radical production and inflammatory responses which are destructive to cells that have had blood flow restored after a period of ischemia.
