and improved tissue response. It uses low-pressure liquid nitrogen at -
196°C to freeze cellular tissue, avoiding the necrotic scarring caused
by electrosurgical or radiofrequency technologies.
The anatomy of the gastroesophageal (GE) junction is difficult to
access in order to treat disease, especially in patients with hiatal
hernias that cause the stomach to stick out above the diaphragm.
The upgraded catheter of this system is placed through a standard
endoscope and designed for full retroflexion, providing a continuous
spray in the GE junction, offering tremendous promise in using
cryotherapy to treat diseases of the esophagus and stomach.
