    Abstract:
    A possibility of providing local hypothermia for human extremities over the area from 6.25 cm2 to 37.5 cm2 with temperature level up to 10 degrees C is shown. "Gipospast-1" is designed for accomplishing the local hypothermia. It was revealed that at such conditions the human organism reaction ensures a specific heat flow on the cooling surface to 0.02+/-0.04 W/cm2. The clinical trials of the apparatus confirmed its efficacy for removing the contractures of the facial muscles and for decreasing the spastics in paretic extremities of neurosurgical patients.
