Résumé

Cryomedicine, especially cryotherapy aimed at tissue non-destructive treatment has been widely recognized as an appreciated method of pain relief, health improvement and biological regeneration. During a local treatment only a part of the body, like a joint or a muscle, is affected by low temperature. Local cryotherapy is realized with apparatuses consisting of a dewar vessel equipped with a vaporizer and a flexible hose. Whole body therapy can be carried out in cryochambers, which are supplied with liquid nitrogen, liquid air, or can be cooled with a cascade vapor compression cycle. The number of cryotherapy portable devices and whole body cryochambres is increasing. The paper gives an overview of the low-temperature medicine therapeutic methods and the current state-of-art in the cryotherapy and cryosurgery equipment. The construction of the cryochamber should provide a required temperature profile, lack of oxygen deficiency hazard and low liquid nitrogen consumption. Exploitation issues like mist formation and temperature variation are discussed.
