An analytical study on the thermal effects of cryosurgery on selective cell destruction

Multi-scale heat and mass transfer modelling of cell and tissue cryopreservation

“…The need to design and predict the treatment outcome necessitates mathematical models. For example, both macroscale (Chua et al 2007;Romero-Mendez et al 2007) and microscale (Zhang et al 2003) models have been developed for cancer cryosurgery to achieve maximal cell destruction within the tumour while preserving neighbouring healthy tissue.…”

Synergistic Effects of Cryolipolysis and Shock Waves for Noninvasive Body Contouring

“…The temperature for cryolipolysis is variable, from ?5 down to -5°C. The Proshockice device also is equipped with two probes: the Freezing Probe, which can be aimed at localized fat and can be used for vasoconstriction to accomplish vascular gymnastics, and the Shock Probe, which works on the fibrous component of fat and cellulite [32][33][34][35]. The use of the Proshockice device is innovative and has been patented as a combined technology termed Ice-Shock Lipolysis, which reduces subcutaneous fat volume and fibrous cellulite.…”

Freezing of Biological Tissues During Cryosurgery Using Hyperbolic Heat Conduction Model

“…Cryosurgery is a technique to treat tumor and can be used inside the body and on the skin using extreme cold which is obtained using liquid nitrogen through cryoprobe into or on the target region. The aim of cryosurgery is to maximize the damage to undesired tissues within the define domain and minimize the injury to the surrounding healthy tissues [4,9].…”
