ARCTIC HEAT HYPOTHERMIC CAPS / COOLING CAPS / COOLING HOODS

Scalp Cooling with Arctic Heat Cooling Caps

Arctic Heat cooling caps have been used successfully in Europe, UK, USA and Australia for many years.

What makes our cooling cap different is that it is a cost effective option, proven to be successful in eliminating substantial hair loss in 80% of patients. A one off purchase means that you can use your cooling cap for as many treatments as you need without the hassle of expensive ongoing monthly rental fees.

Our cooling cap are light weight and comfortable. They do not need to be wired into a machine, you have full mobility and are free to walk around during your treatment.

We supply special chemo therapy packs, which consists 3, 4 or 5 caps. This allows patients to wear one cap e.g. on the way to the treatment (precooling), 1-3, even more, during chemotherapy and one after to insure continuous cooling on the hair follicles to reduce hair-loss.

These caps are designed and made in Australia from the highest quality materials, lined with a specially designed polyester interlock fabric which has an inbuilt wicking effect. Moisture is drawn away from the scalp resulting in a dry application.

Arctic Heat Hyppthermie caps (cooling caps) were developed at the suggestion of doctors and in collaboration with other medical professionals to support patients who need chemotherapy.

They allow the scalp temperature to be lowered during the entire cytostatic therapy.

It has been scientifically proven that cooling the scalp before, during and after chemotherapy makes a noticeable contribution to avoiding or reducing the feared hair loss. The reusable Arctic Heat caps do this effectively.
International studies show that hair loss can be prevented as soon as the scalp temperature cools below 22 ° Celsius. Arctic Heat hypothermia caps reduce the scalp temperature by 17 ° Celsius within only 7 minutes.

The required skin temperature of less than 22 ° Celsius is reached at around 19 ° C (optimal level) and held for 1 hour (per cap). Depending on the duration of the chemotherapy session, several cap changes are necessary so that the scalp temperature remains continuously reduced throughout the cytostatics therapy.

The caps are easy to use; all that is required are sufficient reusable Arctic Heat cooling caps (depending on the duration of the infusion), a freezer (for cooling at home) and a cool bag for transporting the caps to the practice or clinic.
