  • Publication number: 20060025755
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system for cooling a body part during surgery that includes a surgical cooling solution generator for producing a surgical cooling solution such as an ice slush from a working solution, a surgical cooling solution transport system for transporting the surgical cooling solution, an applicator configured for receiving the surgical cooling solution from the supply line and having a first mode and a second mode for respectively routing the surgical cooling solution to the recycle line for recycling, and for routing the surgical cooling solution to a surgical delivery interface. The applicator comprises an intake port for receiving the surgical cooling solution, a recycle port for transmitting a portion of the surgical cooling solution for recycling, and a surgical delivery interface for transmitting a portion of the surgical cooling solution to a body cavity.
