ABSTRACT:
A cap structure for application to the head of a patient to create a cold environment around the scalp portion of the patient during cytotoxic treatment, thereby to reduce alopecia which might arise as a result of the treatment. The cap structure is comprised of a plurality of individual cap structure forming sections or panels with each panel having at least one internal chamber. A substance in each of these internal chambers is capable of being subjected to and achieving a reduced temperature, and of retaining a reduced temperature for a substantial period of time. The cap sections are connected together by flexible members in order to facilitate conforming the cap structure to the patient. The cap structure may include an upper section, two side sections and a rear section, which sections may be fastened together for use, and unfastened for cleaning and/or storage. The cap structure could also be comprised of a unitary member which may be provided with a plurality of panels separated by flexible members.
