Hypothermia Slippers
A New Tool For Supportive Care In Cancer.
Indication : Prevention of nail and skin toxicity associated with docetaxel.
Nail (dyschromia and onycholysis) and skin toxicity occurs in about 50% of patients treated with docetaxel. It can cause inflammation, neurogenic disorder, angiogenic disorder and/or infection.
It has been proven by a multicenter case control study that the flexible frozen glove Akromed significantly reduces the nail and skin toxicity associated with docetaxel and provides a new tool in supportive care management for a better quality of life for the patient.
