The mechanism

How it works

Cryo 7 delivers cooling air through a 250 cm hose, with fan output adjustable across nine levels. It runs on 220 to 240V mains power at 1200 VA and carries a USB 2.0 / RS232 interface.

The -30°C cold air works two ways, per Zimmer: it protects the skin from thermal damage, and it blocks nerve receptors to reduce pain sensation in sensitive areas, an effect Zimmer calls cryoanaesthesia. Delivery is continuous, from the first to the last minute of treatment, with no waiting time, through a tube that clips and adapters secure directly to the laser handpiece or a support arm, directed precisely at the treatment area and leaving the physician one hand free.

Why this system

Two roles, one device

Cryo 7 cools the skin during laser and dermatological procedures, and treats pain.

A fit for any clinic already running a laser

Cryo 7's cooling role serves exactly that work.

Class IIa

Fan output adjusts across nine levels, and a 250 cm hose reaches the treatment site.

Reliable through a full clinic day

Zimmer states Cryo 7 is designed for reliable use all day long, and that it runs quietly even after many hours of continuous cold air therapy.

The detail

What to know

Cryo 7 measures 106 x 50 x 56 cm and weighs 60 kg.

Cryo 7 sits alongside any laser or dermatological procedure already on the schedule: hair removal, skin renewal, tattoo removal or lesion treatment. That makes it an addition to an existing service line rather than a new one.

What is Cryo 7 used for?

Skin cooling during laser hair removal, skin renewal, tattoo removal and treatment of pigmented and vascular lesions, as well as pain relief.

Does a clinic need Cryo 7 if it already runs a laser?

Any clinic already running a laser is a fit for the cooling role Cryo 7 performs.

What power and connectivity does Cryo 7 need?

220 to 240V mains at 1200 VA, with a USB 2.0 / RS232 interface.

Is Cryo 7 the same as Cryo 6 or CryoMini?

All three share the same clinical role, as Zimmer publishes it, and Zimmer gives each one its own line. Cryo 7 and Cryo 6 both cool to -30°C at 60 kg, and Cryo 7 adds the 10 inch touch display, up to 100 stored favourite programmes and the optional Pro Therapy Hose. CryoMini is the compact one, 60 x 33 cm and 35.5 kg, cooling to -18°C, which Zimmer calls "the compact system for brief and less painful applications".

Does the cold air affect the laser or IPL device during treatment?

No. Zimmer states the -30°C cold air reduces pain during laser or IPL applications without impairing the laser beam or the intense pulsed light.
