Cryoneuroablation also known as cryoanalgesia or cryoneurolysis, is a specialized technique for providing long-term pain relief in pain management settings.
Modern cryanalgesia is due to Cooper et al, who developed in 1961, a device that used liquid nitrogen in a hollow tube that was insulated at the end and achieved a temperature of -190 degrees Celsius. Lloyd et al suggested that cryoanalgesia was superior to other methods of peripheral nerve destruction, including alcohol neurolysis, phenol neurolysis or surgical lesions.
Applying cold to the tissues creates a conduction block, similar to the effect of local anaesthetics. Long-term pain relief from nerve freezing occurs because the ice crystals create vascular damage to the angionerve, which causes severe edema.

The CRYO-S Painless device is specially designed for cryoanalgesia. It is a percutaneous, micro-invasive and highly effective method of pain management that uses the effect of freezing the nerves. The biggest advantages of this machine are breaking or reducing patients’ addiction to analgesics, including opioids.
Mode selection and cleaning/freezing of the detector can be performed automatically using the foot switch or the touch screen that allows maintaining the position of a procedure under sterile conditions.
Electronic communication (chip system) between the connected probe and the device allows the identification of the optimal operating parameters and automatically configures the characteristics of the cryoprobe. The pressure and gas flow are adjusted automatically and no manual adjustment is required.
