Abstract
Surgical cooling may be implemented by various systems, processes, and techniques. In certain implementations, a surgical cooling device includes a shaft, a cooling assembly, and a mechanical control system. The shaft includes a pair of axial cooling channels extending through its interior. The cooling assembly includes a pair of arms pivotally attached to the shaft and a foldable thermal exchanger coupled to the pair of arms and fluidly coupled to the pair of axial cooling channels. The mechanical control system is adapted to unfold the cooling assembly from a closed position to an open position to allow a coolant to flow through a first of the pair of axial cooling channels, through one or more thermal exchange channels, and out a second of the pair of cooling channels.
