  • Patent number: 11826697
    Abstract: A method of preparing cryogenic air for use in cryotherapy procedures, characterized in that liquid nitrogen (1) is fed from a cryogenic nitrogen tank (2) via a cryogenic duct (3) to at least one exchanger (4), wherein at the same time a breathing mixture (6), containing oxygen in a concentration of 17% to 100%, is fed, via an oxygen duct (7), from a breathing mixture (6) source (5), through the filter (8), to at least one exchanger (4), then in at least one exchanger (4), by means of a heat exchange between the breathing mixture (6) and liquid nitrogen (1), the breathing mixture (6) is cooled to the set temperature of minus 80° C. to minus 160° C., and then the cooled breathing mixture (6) is fed from at least one exchanger (4), via an upper pipe (9).

  • Publication number: 20230181230
    Abstract: A cryoprobe for cryotherapy, includes a working and a drain tube, welded together. The working tube has a first end, a distal end, an internal surface, an external surface, an inner diameter, and an outer diameter. The drain tube is placed concentrically in the working tube, and has an internal surface, an external surface, an inner diameter, an outer diameter, a first end connected to a first pressure supply, and a perforated second end which is proximate to the distal end of the working tube. The drain tube is welded to the working tube between the internal surface of the working tube and the external surface of the drain tube to manufacture a throttle perforation, in a manner which allows fluid to pass along the outer surface of the drain tube, expand at the distal end of the working tube, and drain through the drain tube.

  • Publication number: 20230181232
    Abstract: An apparatus for performing cryosurgery, especially suited for the sacroiliac joint. The apparatus includes a first expansion tube having a first length; a second expansion tube having a second length, wherein the second length is longer than the first length; a first supply tube supplying a cooling agent to the first expansion tube; a second supply tube supplying another cooling agent to the second expansion tube; and a drain tube for removing cooling agents from an enclosed working part, wherein the first expansion tube supplies the cooling agent to a first portion of the working part, the second expansion tube supplies the another cooling agent to a second portion of the working part, the working part further including a tip; wherein the first expansion tube and the second expansion tube are positioned inside a casing.

  • Publication number: 20210100683
    Abstract: A method of preparing cryogenic air for use in cryotherapy procedures, using liquid nitrogen and gaseous oxygen, characterized in that liquid nitrogen (1) is fed from a cryogenic nitrogen tank (2) via a cryogenic duct (3) to a reactor (4), wherein simultaneously a gas (7) containing oxygen in a concentration from 20% to 100% is fed from an oxygen source (5) to the reactor (4), through a gas duct (6), then, in the reactor (4), the liquid nitrogen (1) is evaporated using the gas (7) and both these components are mixed together, forming a cold breathable mixture (8), cooled to a set temperature of minus 80° C. to minus 160° C., which is further fed through a cold duct (9) terminated with an outlet (10) to a cryochamber (11).

  • Patent number: 7244269
    Abstract: Method of carrying out the cryogenic therapy, particularly on the whole body of one or several patient/s, characterized in that said patient/s are introduced along a transport route through the upper part of a chamber and then through the interior of said chamber, wherein said chamber has thermally insulated walls and a space containing a deposited low temperature cooling agent. The patient/s are then led to a cryogenic treatment cabin having a very low temperature from ?60.c to ?160.c with exposure times ranging from 0.5 to 5 minutes, whereafter said patient/s leave said treatment cabin through the interior of said chamber and further along said transport route outside chamber to an area at room temperature. The corresponding device for carrying out cryogenic therapy is characterized by a chamber with an open upper part and by a separated cryogenic treatment cabin inside said chamber said cabin being cooled in its whole volume by a cooling agent in the form of liquid air sprayed by nozzles.
