A handheld cryosurgical sprayer is the centerpiece of any cryosurgery station, but it's only one part of a working system. To treat patients reliably, you also need a way to store liquid nitrogen, transfer it safely, and shape each freeze. Buying the pieces as a matched bundle ensures everything works together — which is why cryosurgical packages are among our most popular purchases. Here's what a complete setup includes.
1. The handheld sprayer
This is the device you treat with, such as a Brymill CryAc or CryAc-3. It holds a small working volume of liquid nitrogen and delivers a controlled spray through interchangeable tips. Choose capacity and weight based on your patient volume (see our CryAc vs. CryAc-3 guide for details).
2. Liquid nitrogen storage
You need a storage dewar to keep a supply of LN2 on site between deliveries. Storage tanks are sized by capacity and hold time (evaporation rate), so match them to how much you use and how often your LN2 is replenished. A larger dewar means fewer refills but a bigger footprint.
3. Discharge and withdrawal equipment
Liquid nitrogen must be transferred from the storage dewar into the handheld sprayer safely. Withdrawal devices and discharge equipment — withdrawal tubes, transfer hoses, and pressure-relief fittings — let you fill the sprayer cleanly without spills or hazardous handling.
4. Tips, probes, and accessories
Interchangeable spray apertures and contact probes control the size and depth of the freeze, so you can treat everything from tiny lesions to broader areas. Timers, kits, and replacement parts round out the station.
Why buy as a bundle
- Compatibility: A matched package guarantees the sprayer, tank, and transfer equipment work together.
- Value: Bundles typically cost less than sourcing each item separately.
- Faster setup: You receive a complete, ready-to-use station rather than piecing it together over multiple orders.
Safety essentials
Liquid nitrogen requires a well-ventilated space, insulated gloves, and eye protection, plus proper storage away from sealed areas. Always follow the manufacturer's handling and storage guidance.
