Paxman has been pioneering scalp cooling technology for over a quarter of a century.
Paxman cold cap temperature.
A soft lightweight silicone cap is placed on the patient s head and is connected to a small compact refrigeration system.
We are proud to have launched the only patient dedicated guide to scalp cooling available alongside a resourceful blog solely around haircare while scalp cooling and have refreshed our company website to tailor for clinical needs and business information.
We would always recommend giving the cold cap a try you have a lot to lose and potentially a lot to retain.
When the cap becomes warm it s replaced with another cooling cap to maintain the cold scalp temperature until treatment is finished.
There is a risk that scalp cooling could elicit a severe anaphylactic reaction which can be life threatening.
Ensure the headband is in place too.
Alternatively the cap can be placed in the cover and then fit to the head.

Pre cooling of the scalp takes 30 minutes prior to commencement of drug infusion.
This ensures the scalp is at the required temperature before chemotherapy is administered.
This allows the scalp to be maintained at a constant temperature throughout the treatment period.
How does the paxman system work.
The paxman scalp cooler should only be used by appropriately qualified healthcare professionals who have been trained in the operation of the device.
Knowing if cold capping is right for you is a decision only you can make and it isn t necessarily an easy one.
The cold cap lowers the temperature of the scalp resulting in chemo having a significantly reduced effect on the hair follicles.
Chemotherapy cold cap.
Do not allow any liquids to be placed on the scalp cooler or near the touch screen controller including drips from the cooling caps.
Such as dignicap and paxman allow more control.
The scalp temperature is lowered by circulating a special coolant through the cold cap.
We are paxman the global leaders in scalp cooling.
Connect the cap to the system.
Be positive but realistic.
