Anchored in work undertaken at Argonne National Laboratory, Buy Time Medical is organized around the medical use of Ice slurry cooling for its potential drastically to reduce the time needed to cool patients down to the target temperature. With BTM's patented technology, the ice slurry is safe and has minimum risk for blood clog while being the fastest method for cooling. An added factor that increases the value and importance of the BTM cooling device is the small size such that that the device could be carried on the emergency vehicle for on-site temperature management. For stroke and heart attack patient, improve response time could be critical. BTM cooling system has the promise to cool down patient in the 30 minutes considered the optimum window after heart stop, drastically improving the potential survival rate for those patients.
