Could a kitchen gadget save frostbitten fingers?
NCT ID NCT05280301
Summary
This study tested if a sous vide cooker—a device chefs use for precise temperature control—could safely and effectively rewarm frostbitten hands and feet. The goal was to see if this common kitchen tool could maintain the exact warm water temperature needed for treatment better than current manual methods. Researchers enrolled 7 adults with acute frostbite to see if the device could thaw tissue properly and was easy for medical staff to use.
