CARE (Chemotherapy Alopecia REduction)

Scalp cooling with the DigniCap Delta will occur with each chemotherapy dose. The cooling wrap is primed, fitted, and checked for proper contact before a standardized pre-cool phase of 20-30 minutes. Cooling continues during chemotherapy, followed by a post-cool phase of 90-180 minutes based on regimen. The system circulates temperature-controlled coolant through channels in the wrap, with sensors monitoring flow and scalp temperature; a safety sensor ensures scalp temperature never falls below 32°F (0°C). Alerts notify staff of low flow or temperature issues. After cooling, the cap is loosened for 5 minutes to warm before removal, and subjects are given 5 minutes to acclimate before standing.
