Description

The Royal Marsden Hospital NHS Foundation Trust required to purchase the Paxman Scalp Cooling System (PSCS) which is a compact mobile refrigeration unit that has been tested to IEC 60601 safety standards for medical devices. The unit circulates a refrigerated liquid coolant, at low pressure, through a special cooling cap that is positioned on the patient’s head. The circulation of the refrigerated coolant through the cap extracts heat from the patient’s scalp and maintains it at the optimum temperature for scalp cooling.
