A simple and accurate cryosurgical tool for the treatment of benign skin lesions: the "hard tail" dip-stick.
Although widely used, cryosurgery with liquid nitrogen still has its difficulties. Too often, large swabs sprayers, and cryoprobes damage surrounding skin. Small swabs are inadequate because of their limited "reservoir" capacity. This article describes a new tool, namely the "hard tail" dip-stick, which has been devised in an attempt to avoid these inadequacies.
