HAND-OPERATED COOLING DEVICE FOR CRYOTHERAPY

摘要

A hand-operated cooling device for cryotherapy for treating pain, inflammations, muscle tensions or the like, includes a main body and a receptacle, which can be inserted at least partially into the main body, for the exchangeable accommodation and insertion of a gas pressure vessel. The main body includes a gas outlet actuation arrangement, which can effect, by manual actuation, the outflow of a gas from the gas pressure vessel when the receptacle is inserted, and the receptacle includes a cooling surface, which can be cooled by the outflowing gas and by the gas pressure vessel jacket, wherein the gas can be conducted inside the main body and inside the receptacle by a gas conducting arrangement and can exit at the receptacle adjacent to the cooling surface. Commercially available gas pressure vessels, in particular cream dispensing capsules, can be inserted into the cooling device, so that a simple and cost-effective use of therapeutic OT medical cryotherapy having a pleasant cooling effect is made possible.
