Below, people discuss how iovera° helped them manage pain related to total knee replacement surgery or osteoarthritis.

 

Mary Lou “If the kids were doing any kind of activities, I usually couldn’t participate because I was afraid of falling and not being able to get up.”

 

John “Eventually all that work took a toll on my body, especially in my knees. They kept getting progressively worse.”

 

Paula “That was the hard part, feeling like I had lost a piece of my life because of my limitations. I was willing to try anything that would give me some relief.”

 

Patients Discuss Their Firsthand Experience With iovera° Clint, Pat, and Bobby are all actual patients at Oklahoma Surgical Hospital in Tulsa.

 

Pat & Bobby “The pain was uncontrollable.” -Pat “My knees had been bad since I was in my late 40s.” -Bobby

 

Clint “I was an avid golfer. I used to play almost every day for years. That’s probably what caused the wear and tear on my knee.”

Indication

The iovera° system is used to destroy tissue during surgical procedures by applying freezing cold. It can also be used to produce lesions in peripheral nervous tissue by the application of cold to the selected site for the blocking of pain. It is also indicated for the relief of pain and symptoms associated with osteoarthritis of the knee for up to 90 days. The iovera° system is not indicated for treatment of central nervous system tissue.

When stimulation compatible components are used, the iovera° system can also facilitate target nerve location by conducting electrical nerve stimulation from a compatible 3rd party nerve stimulator.

Important Safety Information

The iovera° system should not be used in people with the following conditions:

  • Blood that thickens when patient is exposed to cold (cryoglobulinemia), blood appearing in the urine when patient is exposed to the cold (paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria), skin rash that appears when patient is exposed to the cold (cold urticaria), narrowing of the blood vessels in the hands and feet when patient is exposed to the cold (Raynaud’s disease), and open and/or infected wounds at or near the treatment site

Patients being treated with the iovera° system (a needle-based therapy) may experience certain reactions, including, but not limited to:

  • Bruising, swelling, inflammation and/or redness, local pain and/or tenderness, and altered feeling at the site of application

Proper use of the device as described in the User Guide can help reduce or prevent the following reactions:

  • In the area(s) where you were treated: damage to the skin from being exposed to cold or heat, darkening or lightening of the skin, and dimples in the skin
  • Outside the area(s) where you were treated: muscles may not work or move normally
