Dry Ice for Cold Caps & Scalp Cooling
Cold caps and scalp cooling systems lower the temperature of the scalp to reduce or prevent hair loss during chemotherapy. Manual cold cap systems run on dry ice — and keeping that supply steady, fresh, and on schedule is exactly what we do.
How Cold Capping Works
According to the American Cancer Society, scalp cooling helps protect hair follicles during chemotherapy in three ways:
- Constricts blood vessels: cooling narrows the blood vessels in the scalp (vasoconstriction).
- Limits chemo exposure: reduced blood flow means less chemotherapy medicine reaches the hair follicles.
- Slows cell activity: low temperatures temporarily slow cell division in the follicles, making them less vulnerable to chemotherapy drugs.
Two Kinds of Systems
Manual cold caps— gel- or liquid-filled caps from brands like Penguin Cold Caps, Chemo Cold Caps, and Arctic Cold Caps — are stored in coolers of dry ice and swapped out every 20–30 minutes before, during, and after each infusion. This is where we come in: manual cold capping requires a fresh supply of dry ice for every single treatment session.
Automated scalp cooling machines (such as DigniCap or Paxman) circulate chilled liquid instead and don't use dry ice — your treatment center can tell you which option is available to you.
How We Support Cold Capping in Birmingham
- Dense, long-lasting dry ice sized to your cap system's requirements — typically 40–60 lbs per treatment session
- Recurring home deliveries scheduled around your infusion calendar, so the ice arrives fresh before every session
- Weekend and short-notice delivery — treatment schedules don't always follow business hours, and neither do we
- Safe-handling guidance for storing dry ice at home between sessions
“My daughter is going through Chemotherapy and we needed dry ice for her cold capping to prevent hair loss. Not only did he deliver to us, on the weekends, but was on time and very reasonable in price.”

Google Review
Cold capping isn't right for every diagnosis — it isn't used for blood cancers or central nervous system cancers, and effectiveness varies by chemotherapy drug. Always talk with your care team about whether scalp cooling is an option for you. Arctic Ice Co supplies dry ice and is not a medical provider.
