PolarCool

The med-tec company PolarCool AB (publ.) has entered into a collaboration with the German doctor Philip Lübke. The collaboration revolves around the introduction of PolarCap® into German Handball. As a first step, the treatment will be made available to the German Handball giants THW Kiel, where Dr. Lübke is the team doctor.

PolarCool develops the product PolarCap®, which alleviates the effects of concussions. The primary customers are sports clubs and facilities in ice hockey, rugby, football, and handball, but also other sports with an increased risk of concussion.

The company has held an ongoing dialogue with Dr. Philip Lübke, Chief Medical Officer for the German Handball Association and a part of the medical staff of the THW Kiel, where Lübke has expressed great interest in the implementation of PolarCap® in the German Handball League, in international Handball and with THW Kiel.

The discussions have resulted in an agreement that enables Dr. Lübke to provide PolarCap® to the THW Kiel men's team. In addition, Dr. Lübke will together with PolarCool work to introduce PolarCap® to the German Handball League and the German National Handball teams.

Dr. Philip Lübke comments;

-Head injuries in handball are a serious problem. I look positively on the possibility of providing acute treatment for this injury. The scientific evidence is promising and I will, in my role in German handball, work to draw attention to this possibility.

PolarCool CEO Erik Andersson comments;

-Handball is an interesting market segment for PolarCap® with many professional leagues and teams in several countries in Europe. The collaboration with Dr. Lübke is positive and we are optimistic that this will be a catalyst for our desire to establish ourselves in the market. Our goal is to implement PolarCap® as a concussion treatment in handball, both in individual teams, national organizations, and leagues.
