Our Mission
Thermal Overwatch exists to save lives by modernizing the treatment of heat-related injuries through rugged, field-ready medical solutions that eliminate user error, accelerate cooling, and perform when it matters most.
Meet Cold Strike
Cold Strike™ is a rugged, field-ready cooling system built to rapidly treat exertional heat stroke (EHS) at the point of need, without the delays, bulk, or setup requirements of traditional immersion methods. It stores and deploys cold, saturated sheets through an internal racking system engineered for rapid access and optimal skin contact. Lightweight, intuitive, and ready on arrival, Cold Strike enables life-saving cooling where and when it counts ... no tubs, no water tanks, no wasted time.
Prototype photos feature Thermal Overwatch’s patented internal racking system installed in a commercially available cooler shell. The external cooler design is not owned by Thermal Overwatch and is used solely for demonstration purposes.
01: Built on the DoD's Proven Ice Sheet Protocol
The U.S. military’s ice-sheet protocol is the gold standard for field-based heat stroke treatment. Cold Strike doesn’t reinvent that standard, it enhances it with smarter delivery, fewer steps, and better outcomes.
​
02: Faster, Safer, and Easier than Traditional Immersion Methods
Unlike bulky immersion tubs or enclosed casualty bags, Cold Strike eliminates the need for setup, zippers, or patient lifting. The patient lies flat, and cooling begins immediately. No tubs, no water, no delay.
03: Field-Tested for Real-World Conditions
Designed by military medics for austere and athletic environments. Whether it’s the sideline or the battlefield, Cold Strike is rugged, portable, and effective.
