Patent number: 11197707Abstract: A method of cooling a material including the steps of (i) providing a cryotherapy instrument, (ii) positioning a portion of the cryotherapy instrument adjacent the material to be cooled, and (iii) circulating a cryogenic fluid through the cryotherapy instrument under physical conditions near a critical point of a liquid-vapor system for the cryogenic fluid. The critical point defines a point in a phase diagram of the liquid-vapor system where molar volumes are substantially equivalent for liquid and gas, whereby vapor lock associated with cooling of the cryotherapy instrument is avoided.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2018Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: ADAGIO MEDICAL, INC.Inventors: Peter J. Littrup, Alexei V. Babkin, Robert V. Duncan, Pramod Kerkar, Sergey T. Boldarev

Patent number: 8591503Abstract: A gas-based cryotherapy probe is provided with a shaft having a closed distal end adapted for insertion into a body. A supply conduit is disposed longitudinally within the shaft for flowing gas towards the distal end, and a return conduit is disposed longitudinally within the shaft for flowing gas from the distal end. The gas is maintained at a lower pressure within the return conduit than in the supply conduit. A heat exchanger is disposed within the shaft in thermal communication with the supply conduit and return conduit to exchange heat from gas in the supply conduit to gas in the return conduit. A vacuum jacket is adapted to provide thermal isolation of the heat exchanger from the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2008Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: Cryodynamics, LLCInventors: Peter J. Littrup, Alexei V. Babkin, Robert V. Duncan, Pramod Kerkar, Sergey T. Boldarev
