Dignitana AB, the world leader in medical scalp-cooling technology, announced today that the DigniCap® scalp cooling system, which was cleared in December 2015 by the U.S. FDA to effectively reduce the likelihood of chemotherapy-induced hair loss in women with breast cancer, will be available at all Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) facilities that treat breast cancer.
The DigniCap® system is the first and only scalp-cooling device to receive FDA clearance. In the rigorous FDA clinical trial, seven out of ten patients with early-stage breast cancer kept at least 50% of their hair. The demand for the FDA-cleared DigniCap® system has been significant this year in the United States.
MSK, a world leader in cancer patient care, research, and educational programs, will now have the 17 units ordered in December of 2016 available for use by female patients undergoing breast cancer treatment in eight of their outpatient facilities in the New York Cityarea
