Abstract

A helmet (10) is coupled to a peltier element (12). One side of the peltier element (12), the cool side, is coupled to a gel form (14) that is coextensive with the entire interior surface of the helmet (10). This gel form (14) encases the skull, inducing localized hypothermia when power is supplied to the peltier element (12). The hot side of the peltier plate (26) faces outward. The heat is dissipated through a vent in the top of the helmet (10). The helmet (10) can be used to induce hypothermia in skull trauma patients, or as a protective helmet (10) for disabled children, particularly those suffering from cerebral palsy, or in sports and exercise.
