ONKOCET Ltd. has exhibited the devices from its portfolio on the MEDTEC UK exhibition in Birmingham, April 2011 through our partner Medical & Partners.
Our company "KRION" was founded by several research workers of Saint-Petersburg State University of Refrigeration and Food Technologies in 1992, the purpose of it was the introduction of the results of scientific investigations about cryogenic physiotherapy in medical practice. The Scientific investigations in this direction were begun by Baranov A. The results were covered in his PhD thesis in 1991.
The reason for holding back was that financing was done by "KRION" itself. Only in 1994 first cryosauna — "KRION" — was tested in Gelendjik (city) in local sanatorium.
The next installation was tested in sanatorium "Komarovo" not far from Saint-Petersburg, where cryothera-peutical courses of treatment started to be as a regular medical treatment (5-10 people per day).
The final step in scientific researches was the manufacturing of the head pattern of KAEKT-01 "KRION" in the hospital number 32, in Saint-Petersburg. Since 1998 cryosau-na number 1 has been working in pulmonary department of this hospital.
In 1998 official technical tests of cryosauna were done, and in 1999 clinical tests of cryosauna KAEKT-01 "KRION" were done in tree hospitals in Saint-Petersburg.
According to the results of these tests, the permission from Committee of New Technologies of Department Of Health was given to our company for manufacturing and using cryosauna. In 2000 our cryosauna was registered in the Ministry of Health of Russian Federation under official name "Aerocryotherapeutical complex for hypothermic stimulation and thermoregulating system training KAEKT-01 "KRION".
Receiving all the necessary permits enlarged the demand for our production, therefore during next years the manufacturing and sale of cryosaunas increased too. By 2005 we had produced more than 100 cryosaunas, which have been working successfully up to now.
The list of countries where our cryosaunas are working is rather long: Poland, Finland, Israel, the Ukraine, Latvia, Germany, Slovakia, Turkey, the USA, Korea , etc.
