The Cryotherapy Gun
In cryosurgery, extreme cold is used to destroy abnormal or diseased tissue. To administer the cold treatment, a cryogun is used. This cryogun consists of 2 parts, with the bottom being similar to that of a vacuum flask as it is used to store gases in their liquid form at extreme cold temperatures such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide.
