MiraCradle® - Neonate Cooler is an affordable passive cooling device which uses the advanced savE® phase change material (PCM) technology to induce therapeutic hypothermia among newborns suffering from birth asphyxia. It has been developed by Pluss® in collaboration with CMC Vellore.
Packaging DetailsAs stated above, MiraCradle®- Neonate Cooler uses the advanced savE® phase change material technology. Phase Change Materials (PCMs) are special thermal energy storage materials that store and release heat at a particular temperature. The thermal energy transfer occurs when the material changes phase from solid to liquid or liquid to solid. MiraCradle®- Neonate Cooler uses the first of its kind - Form Stable PCMs. PCMs have been incorporated in a polymer matrix to ensure that when changing phase from solid to liquid PCMs retain its shape and form avoiding any risk of the PCM leaking from its encapsulation, thus making it completely safe for the user as well as the patient.
