Cryosuccess: An Overview
Simple, Safe, Effective Cryotherapy for Your Clinic - The Patient Preferred form of Treatment
Introducing Cryosuccess the perfect complement (and sometimes alternative) to liquid nitrogen. Cryosuccess is a portable cryosurgery device that offers precise application with an ergonomic design that is ideal for use in minor surgery.
The unique method with direct contact between the liquid and the skin allows a constant penetrating temperature of -89°C. With low treatment costs and simple and secure handling, this is the perfect handheld cryosurgery instrument for multiple specialties.
Cryosuccess is a cryotherapy device that uses the precise application of Nitrous Oxide to effectively treat a myriad of different lesions commonly encountered in primary care. The low cost per treatment, the precision of each treatment and the elimination of evaporation waste are key features.
This and the fact that treatments can be done at a very high success rate in a way that is less painful to patients and less likely to cause hyperpigmentation makes the Cryosuccess a very viable solution for Cryothereapy in virtually all settings where dermatology is a part of the practice.
The Cryosuccess unit function is based on cold expansion, whereby liquid N2O (nitrous oxide) is brought directly through a micro capillary to the area to be treated, under a remaining constant temperature of -89° C (184,4 K). Freezing of the tissue to a depth of 3 mm, by a diameter of 10 mm is reached after an application time of 12 seconds.
Cryosuccess Key Benefits
Patient Outcome (clinical benefits)
- Treatment success rate: The very precise nature of the Cryosuccess allows for very accurate application of freezing resulting in very high success rates
- Freeze in delicate locations: The reduced risk of scarring and hyperpigmentation make treating lesions on faces and even eyelids much more practical than liquid nitrogen. Its precision minimizes collateral tissue freezing and greatly reduces patient discomfort.
- Pediatrics: Simply stated, the Cryosuccess hurts less and is very fast and effective. It is ideal for treating mollescum and other common lesions found in children. The lower pain point is tolerated by pediatric patients and for this reason, makes successful outcomes easier and faster to obtain.
Economics and staff safety
- There is no loss of evaporation and unused cartridges last indefinitely
- The cost of the cryosuccess is less than the average Liquid Nitrogen delivery canister and there are no rental charges for a liquid nitrogen dewar.
- No monthly contract. Purchase cartridges as you need them with your normal medical supplies
- Easier, faster and safer for your staff to handle.
- The Cryosucess travels easily and safely from room to room and even can make housecalls
