Amma™ by Cooler Heads is a transportable scalp-cooling system that can help cancer patients with hair-loss related to treatments. Patented and cleared by the FDA, Amma™ by Cooler Heads is a part of McKesson’s oncology solutions and helps you provide even better care and support for the unique needs of your cancer patients.

How Amma™ by Cooler Heads Works

Amma™ by Cooler Heads is the first FDA-cleared, portable scalp cooling medical device to reduce chemotherapy-induced hair loss. The portable cooling unit works in conjunction with a disposable cooling wrap and cooling cap. The cooling cap is carefully customized for the individual patient for best results.

• When worn, Amma™ brings the scalp temperature to 65F° before, during and after chemotherapy. The cold temperature prevents hair follicles from absorbing as much chemotherapy and helps preserve the integrity of the hair, reducing hair loss.
• The portable device can be used by patients continuously, beginning 30 minutes before chemotherapy, during chemotherapy and for 2 hours following the completion of a chemotherapy infusion. Your patients can use the device wherever they feel most comfortable.
• Training and resources are available to help you and your staff ensure caps are properly fitted. Those same training resources can provide education for your patients regarding what they can expect and how to get the best results.

At McKessonour oncology offering includes distribution services, technology solutions and a comprehensive selection of products to help you offer the best possible care to your oncology patients. As the exclusive distributor of Amma™ by Cooler Heads we are proud to be able to offer this innovative and patient-focused solution to our customers.
