Minimally invasive outpatient procedure based on the interruption of sensory functions in certain structures of the peripheral nervous system by applying a low temperature (-50°C).
The method uses the cryoneurolysis process, during which the ice crystals created by the CRYO-S Painless®, generator destroy the nerve tissue elements that transmit pain information, without damaging the nerve structures. In this way, nerve tissue can regenerate, without the risk of post-procedural neuroma. This procedure is carried out under ultrasound or scopic guidance.
Cryoneurolysis procedure performed by Dr Mourad Aïssou, Hôpital Privé Paul d’Egine.
METRUM CRYOFLEX’s most advanced cryosurgical device for cryoneurolysis. Designed for patients suffering from chronic pain at a level above 5 on the visual analogue scale (VAS).

No risk of neuroma formation
The CRYO-S Painless® system allows you to connect 6 different types of cryoprobes, so you can tailor the treatment to your patient’s needs.
The 6 cryoprobes differ in shape and size. We offer 3 tip shapes: triangular, round or bevelled.
There are 4 different sizes of cryoprobes: 20, 90, 120 and 150 mm in length. There are 3 probe diameters: 20, 16 and 12 gauge.
Finally, for treating pain in the sacroiliac joint, we offer the SIJ probe, which is specially designed to adapt to the specific needs of this treatment.
