Abstract
Abstract The cooling pack is a container having a cooling substance contained within it. The cooling pack is generally constructed such that it can be formed in a bowl shape to cover the scalp portion of the users head. By covering the scalp with a cooling pack the lose of hair is minimized during medical treatments such as chemotherapy. The cooling pack may also be used with head wear such as hats, helmets and the like. In addition a head band may have a cooling pack to be worn over the eyebrows.
