The Paxman Scalp Cooling System
Paxman Scalp Cooling
The Paxman Scalp Cooling System revolutionises the way chemotherapy-induced alopecia is managed around the world.
The Paxman Scalp Cooling System consists of four major components designed to effectively reduce and maintain temperatures for optimal results.
The System
The mobile, compact refrigeration unit responsible for maintaining cool temperatures of the scalp.
The Coolant
A unique, sub-zero cooling agent which extracts heat from the scalp.
The Cap
Distributes coolant across the scalp to reduce the temperature.
The Cap Cover
Secures the cap in place, allowing the cap to achieve its full potential.

Pioneering scalp cooling technology
Globally recognised, advanced technology for reducing chemotherapy-induced alopecia, with both patients and your oncology workflows in mind.
Maintains safe, consistent temperatures
Reduces the burden on nursing staff
Instant cooling capabilities*
Space- and time-saving design
Dual system option available – treat two patients at once
*After an initial 30-minute refrigeration period at the start of each day.
The link between system and cap
The bespoke coolant is fundamentally essential to support the maintenance of a consistent target scalp temperature.
Reliable, continuous cooling
Ultra-efficient heat transfer properties
Temperature is continuously monitored

The only 3D-formed cold cap in the shape of a human head
A lightweight and flexible cap for a comfortable fit. With curved cooling channels to support the most efficient coolant distribution, its cranial shape and patented design ensure optimal surface contact across the scalp.
Adapts to global head shape variances
Efficient coolant distribution
Lightweight and flexible
Secure where it counts, simple where it matters
The cap cover secures the cap in place, preventing loose cap fitting and air pockets, without overtightening. Ensuring even compression around the head and maximum contact with the scalp, the insulating neoprene material also protects from ambient temperatures.
Designed for ease of use
Minimises condensation
Range of colour-coded sizes

The key to scalp cooling efficacy: the scalp cooling gradient
Key clinical research studies have demonstrated that hair retention and protection of the follicles is most successful when the scalp is sufficiently cooled. Tolerable but effective scalp cooling can only be achieved with sub-zero coolant temperatures.
Discover why effective scalp cooling requires a bespoke coolant instead of water.
Trusted through decades of research and clinical use
Built on over 20 years of clinical research, scalp cooling is now a widely-adopted side effect management solution that helps patients reduce chemotherapy-induced hair loss and protect their hair follicles.


First-class training and support
You and your patients are never left out in the cold. From start to finish, benefit from extensive, personable scalp cooling training and comprehensive patient resources, allowing you to deliver each chemotherapy regimen with confidence.
Scalp Cooling Registry success rates
Scalp cooling is the only clinically validated method of reducing chemotherapy-induced hair loss. Used in hospitals worldwide, scalp cooling helps many patients retain their hair during cancer treatment. The Scalp Cooling Registry analysed outcomes from 7,424 patients treated at 68 hospitals.

Used in cancer treatment centres across the world
