Cryochambers ARCTICA

Our original solution, using a phenomenon of coolness retention and direct injection of liquid air into cryochamber, notified in the European Patent Office, provides an opportunity for widening the range of interventions offered so far in well-known cryo-chambers solutions.

The possibility of enriching the atmosphere in the cabin with oxygen, up to 24-26%, creates better conditions for biological regeneration of persons who are exposed to great strains and who need special conditions of regeneration (e.g. sportsmen after exhausting training). The nitrogen - oxygen atmosphere allows the cryotherapy of the whole body, including face receptors which have a huge influence on feeling coldness and processes of thermoregulation in the patient's body.

The cabin for cryotherapy treatment can be built as a one, two or four-persons treatment cabin propely isolated on the wood bearing construction. The inside of the cabin is lined with poplar wood. Unique system of spraying device sprays cryogenic liquid air inside.

In some of our cryochamber we use a novelty - the location in the hollow below the level of the operative floor which allows the use of the coolness retention effect and advantage of direct liquid air injection into cryochamber. The slope of the stairs is mild and the steps are wide which enables the patients who are less fit to enter the cabin without problems and can be treated as adaptation area.

Indications for the curative use of coldness are very wide:

• acute and chronic diseases of joints and articular cartilages e.g. rheumatoid joints inflammation, Bechterow disease, Reiter syndrome, lichen erythematosus, gout, infectious joints inflammation
• chronic illnesses of joints: as e.g. joints degeneration, secondary inflammation of joint degeneration, periarticular omarthritis (periarticular shoulder inflammation)
• back pain syndromes: e.g. low back pain [lumbalgia] (after eliminating the possibility of kidneys disease), sciatic neuralgia, the state after nucleotomy
• soft tissues rheumatism such as tendinitis or tendovaginitis
• results of accidents and other injuries e.g. torsions, dislocations, muscles stretching, scald, swellings after injuries, Sudeck disease
• surgical diseases as e.g. contractures in joints, swellings after breast, hand, jaws operations, scars pains, empyema of the bones, fistulas, local infections, hemorrhoids, itch of anus, acute superficial inflammation of veins, bleeding from nose, acute states of abdominal cavity inflammation
• neurological diseases such as: spastic hemiparesis and paraparesis, the brain and the medulla disseminated inflammation, myasthenia, Parkinson disease, pains of different reasons, anterior poliomyelitis, acute nerves inflammation

The main contraindications to the whole body cryotherapy: serious heart diseases and diseases of circulatory system e.g. circulatory insufficiency, arrhythmia, the state after myocardial infarction, hypertension, diseases of lungs, diseases of thyroid gland.

Advantages of the cryochambers ARCTICA:

• no energy losses resulting from the leakage of the cold air while entering and leaving the cryochamber (cryochamber with cool retention effect),
• lower usage load in comparison with nitrogen cryochambers,
• hospitable even for patients with claustrophobia,
• ozon disinfection system,
• low price,
• short start up time,
• high efficiency,
• ecological medium - synthetic, liquid air,
• easy in service
