CRYONEUROLISIS

Cryoneurolisis is a therapeutic method basing on temporary disruption of neural and motor functions of some parts of the nerve system using extreme cold. Cryolesion is gaining acceptance as an innovative method in pain relief. It uses the process of analgesia, during which the ice crystals created by the cryosurgery device destroys the elements of the nerve tissue carrying pain information. Cryoablation does not damage nerve structures permanently that is why nerve tissues can regenerate slowly with no risk of post-procedural neuritis. The procedure is safe and minimally invasive, recommended especially when conservative means have been ineffective.  

Cryo-S electric PAIN LESS is available for specialists in pain management – Neurosurgeons, Spine Surgeons, Orthopedists, Anesthesiologists.

• Mode selection, cleaning the probe and freezing can be performed using foot switch so the site of a lesion remains sterile.
• Contains automatic probe cleaning system and two freezing modes (continuous and discontinuous)
• Temperature of the probe, pressure, gas flow, time of the procedure are screened during freezing.
• It can be used in other medical specializations such as gynecology, dermatology, laryngology, ophthalmology, phlebology 

Cryo-S series devices are powered by medical nitrous oxide   (-89°C). It is the anaesthesiological gas, very efficient and easy in exploitation. A 10 liter cylinder of N2O serves for 4 hours of continuous work. Due to special qualities of the gas it can be stored safely in cylinders made of steel and without losses, which is one of the greatest drawbacks of liquid nitrogen devices. The apparatus can also work on carbon dioxide CO2.

 Contact probes for Cryo-S Electric PAIN LESS:

 All of the probes are reusable, easy to sterilize and easy in exploitation.

 

The special construction enables precise freezing and fast defrosting.The tip of a probe inserted subcutaneously is sharp.

Whereas, those probes that aim to stick to the nerve more closely have rounded tips. This type of probes are inserted through amandrel.

 

 

Application

 

• Acute postoperative pain from thoracotomy
• Facial pain syndromes (tic doulourexOccipital, suprascapular, ilio-inguinal and other specific neuralgias
• Facet syndrome – cervical, thoracic and lumbosacral
• Coccydynia
• Perineal neuropathies
• Phantom Limb
• Trigger points
• Painful neuromas
• Tennis elbow syndrome and golfer’s elbow syndrome

The advantages of cryolesion in pain treatment using Cryo-S Electric PAIN LESS

• Microinvasive patient procedure, reversible effect
• High efficiency: pain reduction for 6 months to 2 years
• Simple diagnosis : fluoroscopy or echography
• Subcutaneous procedure, microinvasive under local anesthesia
• Fast return to normal activities – no hospitalization Procedure can be repeated
• Low cost
• Whole range of reusable contact probes of various shapes and sizes
• Painless
• Smaller incisions, usually a few smaller scars instead of one larger scar
• Less tissue dissection
• Less damage to surrounding muscles
• Potential for less blood loss, quicker healing, shorter hospital stay, and less pain.
