BD ArcticGel™ Pads
Designed to help you deliver high-quality TTM to all eligible patients—neonates to adults

Temperature is a vital sign
An integral component of the non-invasive Arctic Sun™ solution, ArcticGel™ Pads are designed to safely and accurately deliver high-quality targeted temperature management for all eligible patients beginning at zero days of life. The ArcticGel™ Pad’s proprietary hydrogel is highly conductive, skin friendly and easily applied and removed, providing constant contact with skin throughout therapy. Sizing is available for neonate, pediatric and adult patients.
Where Hydrogel's Potential Truly Shines
The pads and system have a heat transfer rate equal to full water immersion, which is the most effective external method in altering a patient's core temperature.
The gold standard approach to controlling temperature.
Pads come in a variety of sizes, neonatal to adult, and there are no known allergies to hydrogel materials.
The single solution designed to comfortably accommodate the most critically ill patients throughout your hospital.
ArcticGel™ Pad placement is nurse driven.
Therapy can be initiated quickly.
Unique channels within the pads maintain water to enable even distribution, and an outer layer prevents thermal energy loss to the environment.
Designed to precisely control temperature.
Pads are designed not to leak, and the system operates under negative pressure.
Reducing water spills even if pads are pierced or punctured.
Defibrillator safe and MRI, CT Scan, Cath lab, and X-ray compatible.
You can defibrillate with pads in place.
Neonate & Pediatric
Adult
Advanced Three-Layer Energy Transfer Design
-
Protective Insulative Outer Layer
Water channels prevent flow diversion
-
Thin Film Layer
Secures maximum thermal exchange of water flowing through the pad channels
-
High-Conductivity Inner Layer
Optimizes skin-surface contact
ArcticGel™ Pads address the problem of skin contact.
Research comparing the ArcticGel™ Pads to current water blanket technology found:
-
The deviation period during maintenance is significantly longer in water blanket patients.
-
ArcticGel™ Pads designed to prevent body temperature from going beyond the therapeutic range, especially overcooling.
-
ArcticGel™ Pads were more efficient in attaining the target temperature, had less incidence of rebound hypothermia, and were able to maintain normothermia better than cooling wraps.
Is your solution advanced enough to include these key components of high-quality TTM?
| Altrix (Stryker) | Arctic Sun™ (BD) | IQool™ (BrainCool) | ZOLL® |
|---|---|---|---|---|
System Operator Requirements | Intended users include physicians, advanced practice registered nurses, and nurses1 | For use by or under the supervision of trained, qualified medical personnel | System should only be operated by personnel trained in accordance with the "checklist for training medical personnel" 4 | Central venous catheterization should only be performed by personnel trained in anatomical landmarks and technique with knowledge of potential complications.5 |
Patient Interface | Two wrap sizes include Velcro tabs and adhesion points. Wraps must be prefilled before application as this reduces the risk of pressure ulcers. 1,2 | Hydrogel pads contain no known allergens, and can be placed directly on clean, healthy skin | Pre-filled silicone cooling pads should be placed around the patient’s legs, torso, and head4 | Aseptic technique required for invasive approach. Start-up kit (heat exchange coil, air trap, tubing) & catheter required6 |
Tools to Detect & Indicate Heat Generation | X 1 | Work to Cool indicates the system is working hard to cool and that the patient should be assessed for shivering, seizure, fever or other causes of heat generation. | X | X |
Indications | Adult, Pediatric Patients1 | Neonatal, Pediatric, Adult Patients | Adult Patients4 | Adult Patients (consider Black Box Warning)6 |
Maintenance Considerations | 59-step process every 14 days. PPE recommended by the BruClean TbC disinfectant manufacturer's IFU3 | Maintenance recommended every 6 months at a minimum, including replenishing the internal cleaning solution | Requires use of a coolant that cannot go down drain and must be disposed in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations4 | Routine maintenance requires corrosive chemicals, refilling, and inspection before and after each use6 |
