LILY: A Breakthrough Technology to Prevent Chemotherapy-Induced Hair Loss
LILY is a portable device that prevents chemotherapy-induced hair loss by using localized microvasculature compression therapy to inhibit drug delivery to hair follicles.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA) is hair loss associated with chemotherapy treatment for cancer. LILY is a portable, comfortable, and effective CIA prevention device that uses localized microvasculature compression therapy (LMCT) to prevent CIA.
Mechanism of Action
The LILY device uses this unique LMCT technique to reduce perfusion at the scalp and prevent the destructive action of chemotherapy on hair follicles.
By applying a consistent low-level pressure (between 35 and 60 mmHg) to the local micro blood vessels, which could deliver chemotherapy drugs to fast-dividing hair follicles, the vessels are temporarily compressed, inhibiting drug delivery.
Device Design
The device comprises a proprietary pneumatic bladder network design and soft robotics system with the ability to non-invasively induce vasoconstriction in superficial vessels of the scalp to mechanically control tissue perfusion.
Additionally, it features an electronic control system for both patient management of the system and real-time feedback into the treatment protocol.
