What is the CB240 Aurora device?

The CB240 Aurora is a selective temperature-control device applied around the neck, designed to lower brain temperature in a targeted way to aid recovery from traumatic brain injuries.

Why is selective brain cooling important for TBI patients?

Selective brain cooling aims to mitigate systemic side effects associated with conventional whole-body cooling strategies, which can complicate patient recovery.

How many patients will participate in the SELETHERM 2 study?

The SELETHERM 2 study is expected to enroll twenty patients with severe traumatic brain injury over a 12-month period.

Summary

A new study will test a cooling collar for traumatic brain injury recovery.
The device offers targeted brain cooling, unlike whole-body methods.
This is the world's first in-human study of this pioneering medical device.

Cooling Collar Targets Traumatic Brain Injury Recovery

A new study commencing this month at Addenbrooke's Hospital will investigate the efficacy of a targeted cooling collar in improving recovery for patients with traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).

This initiative is the world's first in-human trial to assess the pioneering medical device, named CB240 Aurora, which is designed for selective temperature control around the neck to lower brain temperature.

Unlike conventional whole-body cooling methods that can cause systemic side effects such as immune suppression and chest infections, this portable collar aims for a more focused approach.
