ONKOCET Ltd. has exhibited the devices from its portfolio on the MEDTEC UK exhibition in Birmingham, April 2011 through our partner Medical & Partners.
Cryogenic physiotherapy is the combination of recent achievements in physics and refers to the technologies of XXI century. Scientific achievements analysis allowed defining the mechanism of stimulating effect on human body. Cryogenic equipment produced according to the modern idea of medical effect of lower temperatures, provides high positive results of low temperatures, minimum discomfort for the patient.
Cryogenic physiotherapy is the fastest and the most comfortable cosmetic procedure. A man up to the neck immersed in the gas cooled up to -150°C for 2 - 3 minutes. The temperature and the time of the procedure is defined according to the peculiarities of human skin therefore during the course of treatment only thin surface skin layer is cooled where heat receptors are. In general the body doesn`t have sensitive overcooling. Because of specific conditions of cooling gas the procedure is comfortable enough, it is really nice to feel cold especially in summer time.
People, who once tried cryotherapeutical treatment, repeat it with pleasure, in spite of rather high cost (10 to 20 euro per one procedure).
The reason for its popularity is that the procedure causes emissions of endorphins. In order to get the same effect it´s necessary to have intensive physical exercises during 1,5 - 2 hours.
Safe and short effect is so great, that endorphins are produced in bodies at hang-over, 2 - 3 minutes in cryosauna and hard "morning" disease goes away.
The main therapeutic effect is that the body mobilizes under cooling. The immunity increases, the aches go away, the skin metabolism activates. The treatment gives great cosmetic effect, particularly in cellulites and overweight treatment.
The list of positive cryotherapeutical usage results can be enormous, because the procedure balances the immunity and the metabolism, i.e. removes original reasons of all diseases. But for the success it is necessary to use cryosaunas, which are able to provide maintaining of cryotherapeutical method.
Cryotherapeutical method
The main problem of practical cryotherapy is the wrong understanding of the reasons of positive results. Many specialists believe that for the recovery it is necessary to enter the cold room. In fact the procedures in cryosauna are effective only in the case if temperature on skin surface lowers below 0°C.
For the skin such short overcooling is safe, but cold skin receptors send alarm signal of great power, that under its influence the most difficult diseases. In order to cool the skin properly the gas temperature should not be more than -130°C, and the time of treatment no less than 2 min.
The contact area between skin and gas plays one of the main roles. You should immerse the most part of the body in cold and wear minimum of clothes. The more receptors are in overcooling zone, the better result will be. Cryotherapy is used for the treatment of bronchial astma, rheumatoid polyarthritis, psoriasis, eczema, allergy, burns, injuries etc.
Cryosauna with using of nitrogen cooling
The proper choice of the equipment for cryotherapeutical treatment is the main reason for providing of good medical and commercial success. The temperature in cryosauna should be more than -130°C. Utilization experience shows, that this requirement is met only in cryosaunas using liquid nitrogen as a cooling source. The gas cooling before it`s supplying into the procedure cabin causes its saturation (enrichment) of nitrogen vapors, therefore the patient should be protected with different means against breathing such air. The most reliable and safe equipment for cryogenic treatment is cryosauna KAEKT-01 "KRYON", where patient is immersed in cryogenic gas up to the shoulders. The area above the cabin is ventilated, so the patient breathes pure atmospheric air. The cabin has movable floor for the patients of low height.
In spite of small size and simple look, nitrogen cooling cryosaunas superb so-called autonomic cryosaunas by their treatment results. Using of liquid nitrogen allows to cooled body surface with necessary velocity. Nitrogen cryosauna cooling power is 10 times more effective than compressive system. This great difference in power explains the quality consequence between nitrogen and compressive cryosaunas.
Cryosauna KAEKT-01 "KRYON" is 10 times cheaper; can be received within 40 working days after payment of the purchase price; can be installed within 1 day and occupies approximately 4 m2. Thanks to these advantages the cryosauna KAEKT-01 "Kryon" has been successfully exported in Finland, Germany, USA, Turkey, Slovakia, Korea, Israel, Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Ukraine etc.
The main advantages
Complex KAEKT-01 "KRYON" is 10 times cheaper as its foreign analogues.
Simplicity and safety of using.
Low power consumption, the system is plugged to public network.
Minimum preparation time for working option, preparation time takes 5 - 10 minutes.
Minimum area (it occupies 4 m2).
Minimum requirements for technical qualification of the staff.
Complex KAEKT-01 "KRYON" is the most often purchased cryosauna in the world, this system has been mostly produced and exported in the last 10 years.
With minimum size and power the complex KAEKT-01 "KRYON" makes possible 15 procedures per hour, and is 8 times more effective than his analogues.
At the present time there are in use more than 200 cryosaunas in the world. According to the experiences, the most successful saunas can serve about 60 patients a day with the procedure cost ten to twenty EURO per patient.

Cabin of patient
The cabin of patient is intended for organizing the direct contact of the skin of patient with the low-temperature gas. Structurally cabin is the cylindrical heat-insulated volume with the door for entrance and output of patient, supplied with channels for the flow of gas- heat-transfer agent.
Cabins are carried out with the left and right (specular) arrangement of doors.
External decorative coating of cabin - plastic, and other component parts of the installation - moisture-proof DSP. The internal decorative coating of cabin - cloth, maintains a temperature differential in 150°C.
The upper part of the cabin is reported with the channel of the outlet of the cavity flow and, through three-way valve, with the line of the evacuation of the finished heat-transfer agent.
Device of gas production.
Arrangement of gas production (gas generator) ensures supply and regeneration of the circulating through the cabin gas- heat-transfer agent, and also its finishing evacuation (emptying of cabin).
Into the composition of gas generator enters the short-cycle contact heat exchanger, which ensures supply into the cabin of the patient of conditional heat-transfer agent. The preparation of heat-transfer agent (cooling down to the temperature 120-150 K) is ensured due to the evaporation of cryoagent (liquid nitrogen).
Pump for pumping of liquid cryoagent.
Pump for pumping of the liquid cryoagent is intended for the storage, the accumulation and the batching of liquid nitrogen into the device of gas production.
Inside the housing is located it cut off for the cryogenic vessel, that is adaptation for its centering and control of the level of nitrogen.
Cryogenic vessel.
Cryogenic vessel (Dewar) is intended for storage and servicing of complex with liquid nitrogen. One vessel enter into the composition of complex. Liquid nitrogen is the liquid, which boils up at a temperature of -196 °C; therefore in the course of time it boils away due to the heat supply from the environment.
The losses of nitrogen during the storage in the vessel are approximately 0,4 kg/day!
