Cryomed has changed company name and address. Now known as Cryogenic Technology Ltd, this is still their current website http://www.cryomed.co.uk so please note that the ‘contact us’ information on this website will be incorrect. I will let you know when the website name has changed and the info updated. Cryogenic Technology Ltd are a UK based company.

Cryo Tech LLC are a US based company and the US distributors for Cryogenic Technology Ltd. Their website is http://www.cryotechllc.com.

I will be adding additional info, when I receive it. Peter has kindly said that I can add his email address to my website. So if there are additional questions you need answers to please email him on:

Also I would like to thank Dr. Goldstein for answering my questions regarding the procedure of cryosurgery for TTS in the US, and David Baines for originally providing me with Peter Wilkinson’s email address.

You can contact Dr. Goldstein via heelspurs.com message board or via his website http://www.footfreezer.com 

‘…we are the manufacturers of the following systems..CryoStar, CryoPac and CryoStat, these were initially introduced to the American market some 2 years ago and have proved to be very successful (TTS being one of the areas that this works with very well)..our investment into this market (FDA approval, medical trials etc) meant that the introduction of these systems to the UK had to wait until these procedures were embedded and fully operational in the US market. We are just reaching that stage now.

Last week we had verbal confirmation of CE mark approval on these systems, we are currently waiting for written approval which means we can then initiate clinical trials in the UK.

Unfortunately despite the fact that these procedures have been used successfully in the US, we still have to go through the process of trailing in the UK, as most surgeons disregard US data and the NHS will not even consider these systems until clinical trials have ratified the procedures…this obviously limits the availability of this procedure.

In saying this there are many people like yourself who require access to this form of minimally invasive surgery…my aim from the sales perspective is to try to get these systems placed in private practices where the podiatric surgeons involved can utilise the procedures outside of the NHS confines (obviously that means a cost to the client.)…’

‘…oh and just as an update the family of machines received verbal confirmation of CE approval this week…we are now just awaiting the approval for the sterilisation procedures..which will hopefully be concluded before the end of this month…’
