ABOUT US

AVAcore Technologies, Inc. is a medical device company dedicated to developing paradigm changing thermo-regulation systems to treat or prevent a variety of medical indications impacted by core body temperature management.

The warmUP™ Patient Warming System by AVAcore can be used to warm patients anywhere they need warming; from pre-op, intra-op, and PACU, to ER, the cath lab or vascular clinic, and more.

AVAcore’s Military and Stanford University Legacy

AVAcore was founded by two Stanford University PhD’s conducting research in mammalian thermo-regulation under a DARPA grant to investigate new ways to manage the core body temperature of our war fighters. That research investigated a little understood system of “thermal portals” that all mammals use to help regulate core body temperature. These portals in humans are the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and the forehead which feature vasculature and skin that is specialized for radiating heat. The real breakthrough occurred when it was discovered that the application of an appropriate thermal load under a mild vacuum to these portals greatly increases the transfer of heat while increasing peripheral blood flow. A thermal load applied in this manner by the warmUP™ bypasses most of the body’s normal insulation (skin, muscle, adipose tissue) and enters the patient directly through the vasculature in the palm of the hand.

AVAcore’s Values

Patients – First and Foremost

AVAcore’s Medical Advisory Board of nationally renowned clinicians supplements the input of doctors, nurses, patient care professionals, and hospital management in the development of warming products that strive to warm patients in safe and effective ways, wherever patients need to be warmed. The improvements and features that result from this collaboration help accomplish patient care and cost objectives.

Quality

The warmUP™ is FDA 510K cleared and has been tested by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) to meet all IEC 60601-1, 60601-2-35, and 60601-1-8 standards. The warmUP™ system is manufactured in the USA at ISO 13485 certified facilities.

Create Value for Healthcare Providers

AVAcore recognizes the rising cost and operational challenges facing post-pandemic healthcare providers and as a result strives to offer unique products that not only ensure better patient outcomes but also save time and money.
