Targeted brain Cooling Therapy
for brain-injured patients

TEQCool’s intended therapy is dedicated to reduce patient brain temperature through intranasal cooling, where energy is exchanged with the patient via balloon catheters placed in the nasal cavity. The physiological proximity of the nasal cavity to the brain, results in short response time and a significantly lower cooling power is required as compared with conventional cooling systems. This makes the treatment tolerable even for patients who are awake or mildly

Healthcare professionals can freely access the patient body throughout the cooling treatment since the cooling is transferred only via the nasal cavity. The treatment does not require any surgical procedures and it is minimally invasive.

UNIQUENESS

By leveraging the body’s natural anatomy, TEQCool’s cooling innovation delivers precise temperature reduction with significantly lower power requirements than traditional whole-body systems. Its benefits include:

Fast response time, with effective temperature management even in awake or lightly sedated patients
Uninterrupted clinical access, as treatment involves no body-wide equipment
Non-invasive application, eliminating the need for surgery or deep sedation.
TEQCool’s innovation makes brain cooling more accessible, tolerable, and effective — exactly when the brain is most at risk.

TREATMENT SYSTEM

The TEQCool system consists of: Single-use nasal cooling kit which includes tubing set and balloon catheters. A cooling device which includes an adjustable touch screen, two cooling elements and two pumps to which the cooling kits are connected.

The single-use nasal cooling kit consists of a tubing set with a heat exchanger bag that is inserted into the cooling units on the device. The nasal balloon catheter is inserted into the patient’s nasal cavity and connected to the tubing set. Thereby a closed system is created, in which the cooled saline solution is circulated.

RAPID BRAIN COOLING

TEQCool has the potential to reduce brain temperature by approximately 2ºC within one hour. This rapid, focused cooling is both safe and well tolerated, without the need for surgical procedures. Its efficiency stems from the proximity of the nasal cavity to the brain, requiring far less cooling power than conventional systems—making it ideal for time-critical interventions.

Key Features

TEQCool brings precision, speed, and simplicity to brain cooling—engineered to empower clinicians and protect patients when every second matters.

Clinician-Controlled Cooling, Tailored to the Patient : TEQCool puts temperature control directly in the hands of healthcare providers, enabling personalized treatment based on each patient’s condition.
Live Monitoring, Instant Adjustments : Real-time temperature feedback allows clinicians to fine-tune therapy on the spot, ensuring responsive and optimized cooling throughout the course of care.
Direct Brain Cooling via the Nasal Cavity : By targeting the nasal cavity—located close to the brain—TEQCool bypasses the need for whole-body cooling, delivering faster, more focused results with less risk.
Flexible Treatment for Complex Needs : Every patient is different. TEQCool offers adaptable cooling strategies that respond to real-time feedback, making it ideal for high-stakes neurocritical cases.
