What is iovera°?

iovera° is a safe, innovative pain relief treatment. It uses extreme cold to stop nerves from sending pain signals to your brain. This effect is immediate, and can last 90 days.

The iovera° system is a handheld device that lets your doctor apply just the right amount of extreme cold only to the nerves they want to target—the ones causing you pain. This process delivers immediate pain relief in the time it takes for a routine doctor’s visit, and it doesn’t hurt. iovera° does not contain medicine. iovera° treatment is safe and does not damage or destroy any surrounding tissue.

OA knee pain

In a clinical trial, iovera° helped people with OA achieve pain relief, better physical function, and reduced stiffness.

Ask your doctor about iovera° if you haven’t found OA pain relief from other treatments, such as:

  • NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, like ibuprofen and naproxen)
  • Opioids (prescription pain relievers, including hydrocodone and oxycodone)
  • Injections (cortisone shots), hyaluronic acid, platelet-rich plasma (PRP)

Knee replacement surgery

iovera° treatment can be given before or after surgery to make recovery easier and less painful. iovera° has been shown to relieve pain, improve range of motion, and reduce opioid use following surgery.

Consider iovera° if:

  • You wish to delay surgery for a short time, such as until after an event or season
  • You have risk factors that need to be addressed before surgery
  • You and your doctor are developing a rehabilitation and physical therapy plan that should not be hindered by pain

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
