Takayama Co., Ltd. (Representative Director: Hirofumi Takayama), a retail company operating in Miyazaki Prefecture, has commenced sales of the 'Netchu Rescue Kit,' a portable heatstroke first-aid set specialized for initial response until an ambulance arrives. Equipped with a dedicated cooling agent that maintains an optimal 10-15 degrees Celsius for lowering core body temperature, and a manual that enables anyone to provide accurate treatment, it ensures safety in summer environments.

As summer heat across Japan reaches 'disaster-level,' heatstroke countermeasures have become an urgent necessity in all settings. Takayama Co., Ltd. has launched the 'Netchu Rescue Kit,' a first-aid set that allows anyone to provide the most effective treatment without hesitation during the critical initial response to heatstroke.

## Three Features of the 'Netchu Rescue Kit'

### 1. Dedicated Cooling Agent that Maintains 'Optimal Temperature (10-15°C)' to Lower Core Body Temperature

The greatest strength is its specially designed cooling agent. By pulling it left and right, the temperature rapidly drops by approximately 2 degrees, and then maintains the '10-15 degrees' range, which is most suitable for lowering core body temperature, for about 15 minutes. It uses a special soft outer material, which increases the contact area with the skin, allowing it to cool the affected area by wrapping around it.

### 2. Fixing Belt and Pockets for Caregivers to Provide Reliable and Easy Treatment

The cooling agent is applied to three points where major blood vessels pass: the 'base of the neck,' 'armpits,' and 'groin.' The neck is cooled by covering it with a dedicated carotid artery pocket, while the armpits and groin can be securely fixed with a dedicated belt. This design allows caregivers to provide treatment without difficulty, even if the patient is unable to hold the cooling agent themselves.

### 3. 'Heatstroke Emergency Response Manual' and Thoughtfully Designed Bag to Prevent Panic On-Site

A dedicated manual is included to ensure calm initial response even when facing a heatstroke patient. Additionally, the conspicuous orange dedicated bag has a convenient handle for portability, and its 'bottom plate doubles as a fan (substitute for a hand fan).'
