SENSORY RECEPTORS OF SKIN

Sensory receptors in 1 cm2 of skin: Besides pain, our skin responds most effjciently to sensations

• f pressure and cold.

NEURO REFLEX STIMULATION THERAPY

• Combines cold temperature and pressure to

produce a neuro-refmexive response

• Drastically lowers surface temperature of skin

in seconds, causing a Thermal Shock

• Uses the body’s own resources to combat pain

and promote healing

• Innovative, safe, and effective compared to
• ther cold and pain therapies

THERMAL SHOCK & ICE THERAPY CHANGE IN SURFACE TEMPERATURE OF SKIN

• Thermal Shock is the abrupt and drastic

lowering of the surface temperature of the skin

• Medical CO2 gas from CRYOFOS treatment gun

cools skin to 2-4° C in under 30 seconds

• Thermal Shock triggers a neuro-refmexive

response in the body

• CRYOFOS delivers NRS Therapy through the

combination of Thermal Shock and pressure

MEDICAL CO2 GAS: THE PRESSURE

Medical CO2 gas with CRYOFOS

• Hits the treatment area at -78° C
• Applies up to 2 bars of pressure
• Localized treatment applied where needed
• Compact and easily stored when not in use
• Designed to be mobile
• Can be transported from room to room

Nitrogen “Chambers”

• Cools environment around the skin
• NO pressure component
• Treatment applied to majority of body
• Requires large area, potentially entire room
• Designed to be stationary
• Very diffjcult to move once installed

TWO PATHWAYS TO THE BRAIN

The key to NRS Therapy is the treatment of pain through the COMBINED effects of extreme cooling AND pressure. The pressure component of NRS Therapy allows for the treatment of pain via two pathways to the Thalamus.

Potentiation is achieved via the conduction of BOTH tracts!

Lateral Spinothalamic Tract (Pain & Temperature) Ventral Spinothalamic Tract (Touch & Pressure)

PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF NRS THERAPY

Analgesic Effect

Near immediate pain relief through the inhibition of pain receptors within 30 seconds

Anti-Infmammatory Effect

Reduced concentrations of pro-infmammatory mediators like prostaglandins and histamine

Vasomotor Effect

Rapid vasoconstriction has a draining effect on tissue and the reactive deep vasodilation increases blood fmow

Myo-Relaxant Effect

Relaxation of muscle fjbers as a result of myostatic refmex in the medulla

TREATMENT TECHNIQUE AND SAFETY

Treatment Distance

The easiest way to establish the appropriate treatment distance is to gradually approach the skin with the treatment gun engaged. The observance of fjne crystal formation on the surface of the skin, signals the optimal treatment distance.

Treatment Motion

Treatment should be delivered with smooth and constant motion across the treatment area. Prolonged, sustained treatment application to a single area will automatically trigger the CRYOFOS safety shut-off feature. CRYOFOS is equipped with a safety shut-off feature to prevent the potential harmful effects of exposing skin to

• 78° C temperatures.
