SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – For many cancer patients, one of the worst parts of the disease stems from the treatment itself: hair loss from chemotherapy.
But a San Diego entrepreneur has invented a new solution that will begin shipping to patients this month.
It’s the first portable cold cap. Cold caps have been cleared for use in the U.S. since 2015, but Cooler Heads founder and CEO Kate Dilligan says her product is the first that will allow patients to undergo scalp-cooling treatments from home instead of at an infusion clinic, saving patients time and significantly reducing the price tag.
