    A novel cryoprobe design eliminates hoses for easier handling and minimal patient trauma. This innovative device offers a 5-minute cryogenic action per ampoule, improving clinical efficiency.

    Area of Science:

    • Cryogenics
    • Medical Device Design
    • Surgical Instrumentation

    Context:

    • Traditional cryoprobes often rely on complex hose systems for coolant delivery and removal.
    • These systems can be cumbersome, limiting maneuverability and increasing the risk of patient trauma.
    • Existing methods may also involve intricate setups with Dewar vessels and vacuum pumps, adding to procedural complexity.

    Purpose:

    • To introduce a novel cryoprobe design that simplifies operation and enhances patient safety.
    • To eliminate the need for external hoses, coolant reservoirs, and vacuum pumps.
    • To provide a self-contained, user-friendly cryogenic device for medical applications.

    Summary:

    • A cryoprobe has been developed featuring an interchangeable container (vessel) that holds the probe itself.

  • This design negates the requirement for hoses to manage coolant flow to and from Dewar vessels and vacuum pumps.
  • Each ampoule provides a 5-minute cryogenic effect, and the probe's small diameter minimizes trauma to surrounding tissues.

    • Impact:

    • Facilitates easier handling and improved maneuverability during medical procedures.
    • Reduces the potential for patient trauma due to the absence of connecting hoses and the probe's narrow profile.
    • Streamlines the cryogenic application process, potentially reducing procedure time and complexity.
