What is Kryoprobe?

Cryoprobe ™ is a medical device designed for use in the treatment of skin lesions, including warts. This device provides a carefully targeted explosion of extreme cold to kill cells in and around and around it, a technique known as cryosurgia. During the week, damaged cells are thrown away and healthy skin will remain behind. This procedure is fast and very safe for patients and can be performed in a hospital, clinic or even in a home visit because tools like Cryoprobe ™ are portable. In the case of Kryoprobe ™, the device consists of an accompanying cassette applicator. The cartridge is one -off and when it is ready for use. The doctor may apply the pen to the lesion and when the procedure is completed, it can be switched off and preserved any material left in the cassette. The cassette can be re -used to treat another lesion in the same patient or a gentle patient after the tool has been properly cleaned for patient safety. Using a cold slowly or using medium low temperatures is not as effective as cellsY can adapt to temperature change and cell preservation may occur. Cell maintaining is undesirable and may result in repeating the procedure.

After using Kryoprobe ™, the patient develops swelling around the lesion site within an hour. The swelling drops during the day and in the next few days the patient begins to notice cell death signals. Eventually dead cells fall. It is important to avoid choosing or scratching the lesion while healing, as it can expose the patient the risk of infec.

If the doctor offers cryosurgia as a possibility for the treatment of skin lesions, it will be discussed with the patient. Patients may want to ask for healing times that they can expect due to the size and location of the treatment of lesion. Knowledge of other treatment options can also be useful, although the patient eventually decides to go with cryosurgia. The risks and benefits of any treatment option should be discussed for patientsthey could inform.
