As temperatures rise, wearing Optune can become more challenging. Heat can affect comfort, array adhesion and the device itself, making it important to plan ahead during the warmer months.
To help, we asked members of the Optune Support UK community to share the practical tips they’ve found most helpful. Their experiences have been brought together in the infographic below, offering simple, patient-tested ideas for staying cool while continuing treatment.
Whether you’re at home, travelling or spending time outdoors, these suggestions may help you feel more comfortable during periods of hot weather.
You can explore the infographic below or download the PDF to save on your phone or print at home.
If you have your own summer tips for wearing Optune, we’d love to hear from you. Sharing your experiences helps us create resources that support the whole community.

We recognise that maximising Optune wear time is important; however, during periods of extreme heat (above 30–35°C), we understand that taking a short break from using Optune may be necessary.
