Contact probes are split into three categories: small sized, medium sized and large probes. All probes are gold plated to facilitate cleaning.
Small Sized probes are ideal for tiny to small lesions e.g. small flat warts, lesions near the eye or on the eyelid.
Medium Sized probes are ideal for small to medium size lesions e.g. flat warts, small benign tumors, lesions near the eye.
Large Sized probes are likewise ideal for for medium size to large lesions e.g. flat warts, and benign tumors.
Closed contact probes provide in-depth freezing with minimal lateral spreading of the freeze. Select a probe fitting the size of the lesion. Wet the skin with a drop of water prior to probe application to improve efficacy.
Closed contact probe technique Closed contact probes provide in-depth freezing with minimal lateral spread. Select a probe size fitting the size of the lesion. Make the lesion wet with a drop of water or contact gel prior to freezing to facilitate the thermal transfer between skin and probe tip. Apply the contact probe when still warm applying light pressure and pull the trigger handle. Allow approx. 5 sec. extra freezing time to cool down the contact probe and keep freezing until a 1 mm halo is seen around the probe tip. Then stop the freezing and allow a few seconds for the probe tip to come loose. This quick freeze slow thaw procedure using the contact probe technique ensures a very effective treatment with high penetration and accuracy.
