Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I have used the cans of histofreeze. They just aren't cold enough to exact much change. I had used liquid nitrogen throughout my time in the Navy and knew it was far superior. I bought my storage dewar on ebay as well as my applicator bottle that I had to return. I bought another from Brymill directly. The liquid nitrogen is cheap and they deliver it when I call them. I think financially it is a wash, but the patient gets better treatment.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I've used Histofreeze in the office and found it expensive and lacking in impact. I like Verruca Freeze much more, really packs in a freeze. Gordon At 11:37 AM 9/11/2006, you wrote: Anyone use the otc cryotherapy? Is it effective? Other cryotherapy agents like hisofreeze?

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 From what I've looked up, Histofreezer gets as cold as -57 degrees C, while Verruca-freeze gets down to -70 degrees C and liquid nitrogen is the coldest at -197 degees C. I use Verruca-Freeze because I like having it available in a spraycan and avoiding the fuss of having a large LN2 container taking up space and getting it refilled every so often. But I agree that LN2 is better than Verruca-Freeze which is better than Histofreezer. SetoSouth Pasadena, CAI've used Histofreeze in the office and found it expensive and lacking in impact.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 I also use a dewar for storage and get inexpensive delivery of liquid N2 about every 5 weeks. I use an appropriate dipper to put some liquid in a stack of 4-5 styrofoam cups; then using a large applicator that I have shaped for the specific lesion, saturate it in the cup and apply to lesion, resaturating as needed. I find I have great control of the freeze and can do some quite small lesions as well as some fairly large ones. ERF Re: histofreeze I have used the cans of histofreeze.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 i have a new can of verruca freeze sitting on my desk now, but without the entry "package" of goodies - how exactly do you use it?

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Medical sells a set of limiting cones for $80.79. You might be able to find them cheaper somewhere else. They are useful because they have a range of 6 different diameters, one of which usually fits better than an ear speculum.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 An alternative is to stack several tongue depressors together with a vise or clamp. Drill various sized holes in them with the Old Black and Decker. Easy to do and dirt cheap.Seto wrote: Medical sells a set of limiting cones for $80.79.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Now that is interesting. One of the first ideas that comes to my mind is to saw off the ends of the ear speculum at different heights from the tip so that you have progessively larger diameters. Sounds like you could save $80! Lynn > >Reply-To: >To: >Subject: Re: histofreeze >Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2006 10:33:45 -0700 > > Medical sells a set of limiting cones for $80.79.
