Although full recovery from arthroscopic surgery may take a few weeks, I was relieved of the pain caused by my torn meniscus immediately after surgery. I was able to walk the day of surgery and was only inconvenienced a few days as all postop patients need some rest to recover from the trauma of invasive surgery.
Each cryogenic liquid has its own specific properties but most cryogenic liquids can be placed into one of three groups: 1  Inert Gases: Inert gases do not react chemically to any great extent. 2  They do not burn or support combustion. 3  Examples of this group are nitrogen, helium, neon, argon and krypton.
Another option for larger quantities is a dewar. Dewar containers can hold liquid nitrogen, argon, oxygen, CO2, etc. A 180 liter dewar may hold 140 cubic meters at 10 bar. The disadvantage of liquid nitrogen is that it is a perishable commodity.It will vaporize and escape from the dewars over a short period of time. It may all be gone in 3 weeks if the dewar is in the hot sun.Portable dewars come in many sizes from the little 1 liter size that the dermatologist might use to 265 liters.nother option for larger quantities is a dewar.
