Frequent Questions

Ethyl chloride is known to be toxic, extremely flammable, and carries inhalation precautions for patients and practitioners. It is listed as “…a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer” and on restricted lists in other states as well. CryoDose TA is a safer and more economical alternative to ethyl chloride. It is non-flammable, non-HAZMAT, non-toxic, and does not carry inhalation precautions. It is a clinical and therapeutic equivalent to ethyl chloride and cleared by the FDA with more indications for use. In addition to use on intact skin, it can be used on open wounds and intact oral mucous membranes.
OTC cold sprays are intended to cool and relieve pain associated with sports injuries such as bruises, muscle aches, and strains. They are for surface use only and should not be used on broken skin. They are butane-based products making them extremely flammable.
