Abstract: A temperable treatment chamber for performing therapeutic procedures for patients includes a gas supply unit located outside of the chamber for a breathable gas with at least one inhalation site opening into the patient treatment chamber. An activation device is located inside the chamber for controlling the supply of the breathable gas by the patient.

Abstract: A cabin for carrying out cryotherapy on the entire body with a cold treatment gas is made open from above. The distance from the upper edge of the cabin walls to the floor can be adjusted to the height of the patient's neck.

Abstract: A device for carrying out cryotherapy on the entire body includes a treatment chamber designed as a half shell in the rear part of which are openings for the exhaust of the treatment gas and in the side parts of which are openings for the supply of the treatment gas. The openings are located in nozzle strips which may be adjusted vertically and horizontally to adjust the pattern of gas flow within the treatment chamber.

Abstract: A device for carrying out cryotherapy on the entire body with a cold treatment gas includes a cabin formed by shells which face one another an enclose the patient and which have opposing openings for the entry and exit of the treatment gas and which further allow the patient's head to remain free.

Abstract: A device is provided for producing a cold treatment gas from nitrogen and air for the cryotherapy of rheumatic diseases in which liquid nitrogen vaporizes and is mixed in the desired ratio with the dry air which is at a higher pressure. The device includes a vessel for the storage of the liquid nitrogen which has a capacity for carrying out at least one or more treatments. Heat exchanging apparatuses are installed in the vessel for channeling a portion of the air which is at a higher pressure. A blending intersection for blending vaporized nitrogen, cooled air and non-cooled air is attached to the vessel. A blower is provided with a dryer having an outlet pipe which branches to a connection with the blending intersection and to a connection with the heat exchanging apparatus.

Abstract: A device for generating a dry cold gas flow by evaporating a low-boiling liquefied gas for cold therapy for rheumatic diseases includes a vessel for accommodating the low-boiling liquefied gas. A hose line is connected to the vessel with an interchangeable treatment nozzle for distribution of the evaporated gas. The vessel has only a small storage volume, and in the vicinity of its bottom, it is provided with an adjustable electrical heater for evaporation of the liquefied gas. The hose line is connected to the vessel by means of an adjustable electrical heating line.

Abstract: A hose is formed as a spiral component hose of synthetic material, which is surrounded by a gas-tight corrugated hose of fiberglass weave coated with aluminum. The insulation for the hose consists of several sequential layers of synthetic material felts and synthetic material foils, preferably a total of three groups, each consisting of a polyester felt, an interior foil of polyethylene, and an exterior foil of polyethylene terephthalate. The outermost finish consists of a corrugated hose of synthetic material.

Abstract: The low temperature storage of biological or pharmaceutical samples by means of ampullas in a low temperature container should be as compact and easy to handle as possible. For this purpose, cases are arranged in such a container into which boxes containing the ampullas can be placed. Each box has pins on the inside, the center distance of which is equal to the outside diameter of the ampullas and in which the minimum distance from any opposing side walls of the box is equal to the whole number multiple of the outside diameter of the ampullas.

Abstract: A device for generating a dry, cold air flow in the treatment of rheumatic diseases includes a cyclone separator as its heat exchange device. The intake line of the cyclone separator is connected to the outlet line of the blower means of a line in which the cryogenic liquefied gas feed ends. The outlet opening of the cyclone generator has attached to it an insulated flexible hose.

Abstract: Samples of materials, such as biological materials, are stored in liquid nitrogen in containers arranged as sliding sleeves wherein the outer sleeve is longer than the inner sleeve and has an apertured protruding edge so that a sealed wire can be threaded therethrough.
