The most advanced, state-of-the-art technology in the field of cryosurgery, the CryoPen(R) Cryosurgical System, was recently launched by CryoPen, LLC, announced Dr. Michael Haas, the technology's inventor."The CryoPen is the most significant cryosurgical advance in a generation and will most certainly revolutionize cryosurgery. The last new technology in the field was more than 30 years ago," said Haas, CryoPen President.
The CryoPen is the safest instrument available because it uses a state-of-the-art, linear compression cooling technology that does not require handling of dangerous cryogenic gases and liquids, such as with existing cryosurgical technologies of the 1970s. In addition to not being exposed to potentially dangerous gases or liquids, the pen-point precision and consistent freeze temperature of the CryoPen reduces the risks of serious burns, according to Haas.
"The non-evasive, patient-friendly CryoPen is also the most effective cryosurgical technique because it simplifies the complexities involved by predetermining variables, such as time, angle, and distance," Haas added. "Once the system is at optimal temperature, the CryoPen is ready for accurate and predictable cryosurgery."
The CryoPen also makes cryosurgery safer and easier for office staff, who will no longer have to regularly handle and order hazardous gases or liquids mandatory of most traditional methods. Plus, with the CryoPen, the treatment has a minimal scarring and no need for anesthetic.
The CryoPen, which has established American Medical Association CPT(TM) codes and can be treated without referral, is used in the treatment of:
-- warts/plantar warts
-- lentigo
-- dermatafibroma
-- seborrheic keratoses
-- non-recurrent basal cell
-- molluscum
-- actinic keratoses
-- keloids
-- skin tags
For some procedures, reimbursement is more than $200, according to national averages derived from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services data.
Dr. Kyle Dean, a Louisiana physician who has used the CryoPen in his practice, said he considered the CryoPen one of the best equipment purchases that he has ever made.
"My staff no longer uses valuable time pouring liquid nitrogen from one container to another," Dean said. "And, if there is a delay in the treating a patient, I do not have to worry; the pens stay ready for 30 minutes, whereas liquid nitrogen would have evaporated."
CryoPen, LLC is a leading cryosurgical innovator, designing, developing, marketing and selling its CryoPen Surgical System to primary care physicians, family practice physicians, general practice physicians, obstetrics and gynecologists, pediatricians, internists and dermatologists.
