The Swedish National Handball team extend their PolarCap® System agreement

PolarCool AB (publ) has entered into an extended agreement with the Swedish National Handball Team. The agreement ensures that the PolarCap® System will be used during the upcoming Men’s European Championships and that the treatment will continue to be available in the event of a concussion during the championship.

The continued collaboration with the Swedish Handball National Team once again confirms the success of PolarCap® System as a cooling method. The company sees handball as an interesting market, both in Sweden and throughout Europe, as handball is big in countries where PolarCool has had break-throughs with other sports such as in French rugby.

The Swedish Men's National team doctor, Daniel Jerrhag comments;

-I am grateful that through this collaboration we are given the opportunity to continue to include PolarCap® System in our routines for concussions management. PolarCap® System, whose positive effects have been further confirmed with the results from the follow-up study in Swedish ice hockey, will thus continue to be part of our routines for handling concussions.

PolarCool's CEO Erik Andersson comments;

-Being strong at home is important for success, it is often said in the world of sports. When we are given the opportunity to protect players wearing the yellow-blue nation jersey it makes us at PolarCool both happy and proud. We now look forward to a continued collaboration with the medically responsible personnel, with the goal of further establishing and thus enabling treatment for more Swedish handball players, both at national- and club level.

The agreement confirms the benefit of treatment with PolarCap® for concussions and shows the market potential even if the order from the Swedish Handball National Team is limited in size.
