With it's origins in the secret laboratories of 1950s Britain at Farnborough's airfield, microclimate cooling has had many applications over the years, since. Used initially to extend the range of RAF bomber aircraft, then migrated into NASA's Apollo programme, the science of low-energy personal cooling systems has come a long way.

"It's basis, however remains the same; "Cool the person, not the place!"", says Andy Buxton, Managing Director of Sleepbreeze Ltd.

Sleepbreeze Ltd - a small family owned company with many years of expertise in this field - has applied this idea to keeping people cool in heatwaves, hot climates and promoting better rest and sleep as a result.

Working with The Event Medicine Company, Sleepbreeze Ltd developed a version of their standard product to help support heat casualties at public events. Fitting to standard medical trolleys and stretchers the product provides cooling whilst the patient receives treatment by paramedics at the scene.

With the Event Medicine Company providing the on-site medical cover for the Farnborough International airshow next week, it is fitting to know that a piece of British military science that owes it's origins to Strike Command's laboratories at Farnborough has moved seamlessly into the commercial world and is now in use so close to where the idea was first dreamt up!
