Introduction ProSense™ Cryoablation System is a comprehensive system for cryotherapy of human tissue based on IceCure™ Medical’s technology. All established cryotherapy techniques utilize a low temperature cryogen under pressure. The ProSense™ Cryoablation System utilizes liquid nitrogen that causes the cryoprobe to reach very low temperatures thereby freezing tissue with which it comes in contact.
