Our company

Paxman are global leaders in chemotherapy side effect management, on an ambitious journey to help reduce the emotional and physical side effects of cancer treatment.

Over 20 million people and their families face the life-altering impact of cancer each year.

Paxman exists to give them access and choice to proven side effect management solutions, supporting patients worldwide to manage chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA) and chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN).

Our vision is a world where CIA and CIPN are no longer an issue. Where everyone – regardless of geography, ethnicity, financial situation, gender or treatment regimen – has access to the effective, trusted cryotherapy solutions they need to help prevent the side effects of chemotherapy.

A global business with family roots

We understand how important consistency, privacy and control are to a patient facing cancer.

Paxman as a company was born out of a husband’s desire to prevent his wife from suffering through the trauma of chemotherapy-induced hair loss. Our founder and chairman Glenn Paxman, along with his brother, Neil Paxman, used their knowledge and expertise in the refrigeration industry to pioneer a scalp cooling system that enables people going through chemotherapy treatment to maintain their hair.

The family mentality of caring and supporting those going through what can be traumatic treatment side effects is maintained to this day and has become a core value as Paxman continues to grow.

A team united by purpose

Our global team of over 150 individuals is dedicated to improving the patient experience for the better.

The breadth of medical device expertise in our senior leadership team provides strategic direction in all aspects of our mission – from research & development and quality control, to operations and market access.
