Cryoalfa Super Contact, 3, 5 or 7 mm contact cryosurgery

In the Super Contact the nitrous oxide does not touch the skin. When the lever is pressed, the gas cools from the inside a closed metal head with a gold-plated surface; after about 15 seconds the head reaches about −50 °C and is applied to the lesion with light pressure. The manufacturer calls this method Contact Freezing.

The diameter of the surface is fixed and is chosen at purchase: 3 mm, pointed, for small lesions; 5 mm; 7 mm, flared, for larger surfaces. If you want all three you can take the set. Valve body, lever and cartridges are those of the Cryoalfa Super.

Indications, contraindications and application times are those in the instructions shared by Super and Lux. As for the whole line, the manufacturer restricts it to staff trained in cryosurgery.
