Scalp cooling systems are medical devices designed to reduce hair loss during chemotherapy by cooling the scalp, which narrows blood vessels and limits chemotherapy drug uptake in hair follicles. These systems typically consist of a control unit that circulates a cooling agent through a specialized cap worn by the patient.
These devices are typically supplied as complete systems including a cooling cap, control unit, and sometimes an insulating cap to secure the cooling device. They are regulated medical devices intended for use specifically during intravenous chemotherapy treatments to help manage one of the common side effects.
