DigniCap offers patients the ability to reduce hair loss from certain chemotherapy treatments and is FDA cleared for patients with solid tumors.

The DigniCap Scalp Cooling System consists of a computerized cooling unit managed through a touch screen display and an attached cooling cap. Temperature regulated coolant continuously circulates though specially designed channels in the cooling cap. The ability to maintain continuous, direct contact between the cooling cap and scalp for a consistent treatment temperature is a key factor in the effectiveness of DigniCap.

Device Operation

DigniCap Delta consists of a thermoelectric cooling unit with a computerized control system operated via a touchscreen monitor. An adjustable Cooling Wrap is connected to the cooling unit. DeltaCool coolant is circulated from the device through the Therapy Hose to small channels within the Cooling Wrap. Circulating fluid temperature is monitored by two separate sensors in DigniCap Delta, one that measures the fluid supply to the Cooling Wrap and one measuring the return flow. An additional sensor monitors supply fluid temperatures as a backup to assure patient safety.

The Cooling Wrap can be easily disconnected from the DigniCap Delta device when necessary, for example, to facilitate restroom visits. To insulate and keep the Cooling Wrap in place, a neoprene Thermal Cap is used over the Cooling Wrap.
