If you've ever wished there were an easier way to maintain hygiene and simplify dermatoscope clean-up between patients, Dermlite’s IceCaps® are exactly what you’re looking for. These single-use disposable covers are designed to fit snugly over the faceplate of your dermatoscope, creating a protective barrier between the instrument and the patient's skin.

Why Use IceCaps?

In high-volume derm practices, efficient turnover and strict hygiene standards are key. That’s where IceCaps really shine. Their benefits include:

  • Improved hygiene: They help reduce the risk of cross-contamination between patients.
  • No need to sanitize the faceplate after each use: Just remove the IceCap and replace it with a new one.
  • Convenient and time-saving: Greatly cuts down on the time spent cleaning the glass between exams.
  • Protects your investment: Helps keep your dermatoscope’s lens free of scratches, smudges, or oils.

IceCaps are made from a transparent, medical-grade polymer that doesn’t interfere with dermoscopic visualization.
