Cold Gloves for Chemotherapy - OncoNeivia

OncoNeivia Cooling Gloves are an innovative solution to support oncology patients, designed to reduce skin and nail side effects related to treatment.

Over 30% of patients treated with docetaxel (Taxotere, Taxol) develop onycholysis (nail detachment), and the skin is often weakened by the treatment, leading to dryness, irritation, and inflammation on the hands and feet.

Cold Technology: Simple and Effective

The cold action causes vasoconstriction, limiting blood flow to the extremities and reducing tissue exposure to chemotherapy molecules.

Benefits:

• Protection for nails and skin
• Reduction of skin irritation and dryness
• Soothing effect and increased comfort during and after the session

Proven Effectiveness

A study conducted on 45 participants during a 90-minute session showed:

• Nail toxicity: 11% with gloves vs 53% without gloves
• Skin dryness: 24% with gloves vs 53% without protection

Practical tip: Two pairs of gloves are recommended to maintain a constant cold temperature throughout the session.

Instructions for Use

1. Place the gloves in the freezer for at least 2 hours before the session.
2. Adjust the gloves on the hands 15 minutes before the start of chemotherapy.
3. Change the gloves every 30 minutes for optimal cooling.
4. Keep the gloves on for at least 30 minutes after the end of the session.
5. Clean the gloves with a damp cloth and/or disinfectant (e.g., Surfanios).
6. Never immerse the gloves in water and ensure they are fully dry before placing them back in the freezer.
