ABSTRACT:
Method of carrying out the cryogenic therapy, particularly on the whole body of one or several patient/s, characterized in that said patient/s are introduced along a transport route through the upper part of a chamber and then through the interior of said chamber, wherein said chamber has thermally insulated walls and a space containing a deposited low temperature cooling agent. The patient/s are then led to a cryogenic treatment cabin having a very low temperature from −60.c to −160.c with exposure times ranging from 0.5 to 5 minutes, whereafter said patient/s leave said treatment cabin through the interior of said chamber and further along said transport route outside chamber to an area at room temperature. The corresponding device for carrying out cryogenic therapy is characterized by a chamber with an open upper part and by a separated cryogenic treatment cabin inside said chamber said cabin being cooled in its whole volume by a cooling agent in the form of liquid air sprayed by nozzles. Alternatively, said device for carrying out cryogenic therapy has a cabin cooled by a cooling agent in the form of liquid carbon dioxide or liquid nitrogen sprayed by nozzles, said chamber having an air intake device in its upper part for providing breathing air to said patient/s. Optionally, said device has a chamber having an upper part with a movable cover which is preferably transparent, said chamber comprising illumination means, the cryogenic treatment cabin having an emergency door situated on one side of said of said chamber, said door enabling access for disabled people on wheelchairs, said chamber, said door enabling access for disabled people on wheelchairs, said chamber, also having measuring and control means for temperature and oxygen concentration in order to protect said patient/s.
