FDA Gives Marketing Clearance For Scalp Cooling System For Reducing Hair Loss In Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy.

Medscape (4/19, Mulcahy) reports that the FDA "has given marketing clearance for the Paxman Scalp Cooling System for reducing hair loss in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy." This "device becomes the second hair loss prevention system okayed by the FDA following the 2015 clearance of the DigniCap Cooling System."

        Healio (4/19) reports that the new "device is intended to reduce the amount of chemotherapy that reaches the hair follicles, reduce drug diffusion through the cell membrane, decrease cell division, reduce active transport mechanisms and generally reduce metabolic activity."
