Cold Cap Chiller Chemotherapy

What Is A Cold Cap Cooling System?

Cold cap therapy, also known as scalp cooling, is a technique used to reduce hair loss during chemotherapy treatment. The cold cap is a specially designed head covering that is filled with a cold gel or coolant and worn by the patient during chemotherapy sessions.

To ensure the cold cap stays at the correct temperature, cold water is circulated through the cap during treatment. The specific method of how the cold water flows into the cap can vary depending on the type of cap being used, but generally, the cap is connected to a cooling machine through a hose or tubing.

The cooling machine circulates cold water through the tubing and into the cap, which then circulates around the patient's scalp.This helps to reduce blood flow to the scalp, which can minimize the amount of chemotherapy drugs that reach the hair follicles and reduce the risk of hair loss.

The temperature of the cold water is carefully monitored and adjusted throughout the treatment session to ensure that the patient is comfortable and that the cap is providing optimal cooling. This can help to reduce the discomfort and potential side effects associated with chemotherapy-induced hair loss, and allow patients to maintain a sense of normalcy and privacy during treatment.

A cold cap cooling system is the vapor compressor technology used to regulate the temperature of a cold cap device used during chemotherapy. It works by transferring heat from the cap to a separate cooling unit and dissipating it there.

The cooling system typically consists of a refrigerant-based refrigeration unit or a liquid coolant-based system. The goal of the cold cap cooling system is to maintain the cap at a temperature low enough to constrict the blood vessels in the scalp and reduce the amount of chemotherapy drugs reaching the hair follicles, while still being comfortable for the patient to wear. The specific design and technology used in a cold cap cooling system will depend on the manufacturer and the particular cold cap model.

How RIGID Cold Cap Refrigeration Unit Work For Chemo?

RIGID cold cap refrigeration unit is a type of dc vapor compressor system used in chemotherapy cold cap devices to regulate the temperature of the cap and help reduce hair loss during chemotherapy treatment.

The compact refrigeration unit works by using refrigerant to transfer heat from the cap to the unit, where it is then dissipated. The cap is kept at a cold temperature which helps to reduce blood flow to the hair follicles and minimize the amount of chemotherapy drugs that reach the hair roots. This, in turn, helps to reduce the amount of hair loss during treatment.

It is important to note that while cold capping refrigeration units can be effective in reducing hair loss for some people, they may not be effective for everyone and the effectiveness can vary depending on the type and dose of chemotherapy drugs being used. It is always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks with a doctor or healthcare professional before starting treatment.

Battery-friendly Refrigeration Systems For Chemotherapy.

RIGID copact refrigeration systems are commonly used in medical equipments and chemotherapy cold cap devices to regulate the temperature of the cap and keep it at a level that will help to reduce hair loss during treatment. RIGID small cooling systems typically consist of a refrigeration module that is separate from the cap and connected to it via a tube or hose. The refrigeration system works by using refrigerant to transfer heat from the cap to the unit, where it is then dissipated.

The type of refrigeration system used in a chemotherapy cold cap device can vary depending on the manufacturer. Some use a refrigeration system similar to a small domestic refrigerator, while others use a cooling system that uses liquid coolant. The design and technology used in the refrigeration system will depend on the particular cold cap model and the specific requirements of the manufacturer.

It's important to note that while refrigeration systems can be effective in reducing hair loss for some people, they may not be effective for everyone and the effectiveness can vary depending on the type and dose of chemotherapy drugs being used. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks with a doctor or healthcare professional before starting treatment.

Those traditional clinical device involves using frozen gel caps on the scalp, but unfortunately, they don't last very long and have to be changed frequently. This can be a pain for the clinic staff to keep up with, and it's tough to keep the temperature just right. In fact, inconsistent temperatures are a big reason why this treatment sometimes doesn't work as well as it should.

Plus, the conventional device has another problem is that these systems are usually big, bulky console units that take up a lot of space and require the patient to stay tethered to them for six to eight hours at a time. That's a bummer, because it means patients have to spend a lot more time in the treatment chair and it reduces the number of people a clinic can help.

The Battery-Friendly Refrigeration Units For Chemotherapy.

The good news is that there's a solution! Thanks to Rigid R&D team 3 years efforts, a compact, portable and battery-friendly refrigeration system was developed. Those water-cooled chillers can combine with medical device to help prevent hair loss when someone is going through chemo.

RIGID compact cooling systems that can provide a steady, controlled cooling source that requires much less attention from healthcare providers. We need a small, portable cooling unit that can provide the high levels of cooling we need with precise temperature control and continuous operation. That way, patients can move around while they're getting their treatment, which would be much more convenient and make it easier for clinics to help more people. So let's get on that!

Scalp cooling must be used at every chemotherapy session to be effective. The caps will be fitted ptior to treatment and connected to the RIGID chillers.
