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.
The liquid portion is usually distilled to produce liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, and liquid argon. Other gases, such as helium, are used in a similar process to produce even lower temperatures, but several stages of expansion are necessary. Cryogenics has many applications. Cryogenic liquids, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and argon, are often used in industrial and medical applications. The electrical resistance of most metals decreases as temperature decreases. Certain metals lose all electrical resistance below some transition temperature and become superconductors.
