The CryoIQ® is a compact, portable cryosurgery device that uses Nitrogen Oxide (-89°C/-127°F) for precise and effective tissue freezing. Its handheld design allows veterinarians to treat skin lesions safely and efficiently in the office or in the field, with controlled depth and width using versatile applicators. The CryoIQ® gives the veterinarian the ability to control the width and depth of a skin lesion treatment using various types of applicators and for every 5 seconds of freeze the skin will be penetrated 1mm in depth, to a maximum of 5 mm.
The CryoIQ® offers the feature of using 2 different freezing methods which enhances the treatment options for the veterinarian.
- Liquid Freezing – provides mm precision freezing to the treatment site through micro capillaries.
- Contact Freezing – closed tip applicators are cooled off by the nitrogen before placing onto the lesion for a hassle-free contact freezing.
Description
- Warts
- Tongue tumors
- Skin tags
- Tumors in the mouth, ear
- Papillomas
- Angiomas
- Cysts
- Inexpensive procedure because anesthesia and sterile preparation not necessary (out-patient procedure)
- Fast and efficient treatment, less time needed for the clinician in a busy office
- No general anesthesia needed in the majority of the treatments
- Minimal to none pre-or post- operative care
- The tissue and surrounding blood vessels freeze which causes its own numbing, making it practically painless and bloodless
- Lower risks of complication, less pain and quicker healing
Cryosurgery (Cryotherapy) is the local application of extreme cold for a controlled destruction or removal of abnormal or diseased tissue. In the past years innovations in the methods of application of the cryogen have made cryosurgery a preferred surgical treatment option for veterinarians to use on their patient animals. More portable, easy to use hand-held devices, such as the CryoIQ®, were developed to give the veterinarian the possibility to treat skin lesions with accuracy and efficacy, either in their office or in the field.
The freezing of the tissue by the direct application of the cryogen makes the procedure safe, efficient and fast. The freezing temperature will destroy cells in the target tissues, the accuracy will avoid destruction of adjacent healthy tissue and a powerful method of application will allow the veterinarian a rapid penetration of the targeted lesion.

FAQs
1. What is the CryoIQ®?
The CryoIQ® is a compact, portable cryosurgery device that uses Nitrogen Oxide (-89°C / -127°F) for precise and effective tissue freezing. It is designed for veterinarians to treat skin lesions safely and efficiently in the office or field.
2. What types of lesions can it treat?
Cryosurgery can be used for a variety of conditions, including:
-
Warts
-
Tongue tumors
-
Skin tags
-
Tumors in the mouth or ear
-
Papillomas
-
Angiomas
-
Cysts
3. How does CryoIQ® control freezing depth and width?
The device allows the veterinarian to control depth and width using various applicators. For every 5 seconds of freeze, tissue penetrates approximately 1 mm, up to a maximum depth of 5 mm.
4. What freezing methods are available?
CryoIQ® offers two freezing methods:
-
Liquid Freezing: Delivers millimeter-precision freezing through micro-capillaries.
-
Contact Freezing: Closed-tip applicators are pre-cooled by nitrogen for easy, precise contact freezing.
5. What are the benefits of using CryoIQ®?
-
Outpatient procedure, typically no anesthesia or sterile prep needed
-
Fast, efficient treatments save clinician time
-
Practically painless and bloodless, due to tissue and vessel freezing
-
Minimal pre- or post-operative care
-
Lower risk of complications and faster healing
-
Portable and easy to store in its included storage case
6. Are there different models of CryoIQ®?
Yes:
-
CryoIQ Pro Basic: Fixed standard dermatology applicator; liquid freezing; 10mm length; Nitrogen Oxide at -89°C / 50 bar (725 psi)
-
CryoIQ Pro Multi: Interchangeable spray and contact freezing applicators; uses 16g or 25g Nitrous Oxide cartridges; same freezing temperature and pressure
7. Can it be used outside of the office?
Yes, the handheld, portable design allows veterinarians to perform treatments safely and effectively in the field.
8. How does cryosurgery work?
Cryosurgery uses extreme cold to destroy targeted abnormal or diseased tissue while avoiding damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Freezing also numbs the area, making the procedure practically painless and bloodless.
9. What makes CryoIQ® different from older cryosurgery devices?
-
More portable and handheld for field use
-
Allows precise control of lesion width and depth
-
Offers two freezing methods for versatile treatment
-
Faster, efficient, and safer than older methods
10. What should I know about maintenance or setup?
-
Uses Nitrogen Oxide cartridges (16g or 25g)
-
Requires standard storage case for portability
-
Minimal maintenance, designed for quick, hassle-free use
