Zimmer MedizinSystems Cryo 6 Cryotherapy System
The Cryo 6 Cryotherapy System is a professional cold air therapy device engineered to deliver continuous, non-contact cooling air as low as -30°C for rehabilitation, sports medicine, pain management, physical therapy, orthopedic recovery, dermatology, aesthetic procedures, laser treatments, and wellness applications. Designed for physical therapy clinics, sports medicine facilities, orthopedic practices, rehabilitation centers, dermatology clinics, medical spas, and aesthetic treatment providers, the Cryo 6 combines powerful cooling performance, precise treatment delivery, customizable airflow settings, and reliable all-day operation in a proven clinical platform.
Widely recognized as one of the most established cold air therapy systems in clinical use, the Cryo 6 delivers refrigerated air directly to the treatment area without requiring consumables, contact cooling devices, cryogen sprays, or ice packs. Its consistent cooling performance and flexible treatment capabilities have made it a popular solution across both rehabilitation and aesthetic medicine environments.
Advanced Cold Air Therapy Technology
The Cryo 6 utilizes compressor-driven cooling technology to generate a continuous stream of cold air at temperatures as low as -30°C. The system delivers targeted cooling directly to the treatment area while maintaining consistent temperature control throughout treatment sessions. Unlike traditional cooling methods, the non-contact design allows providers to cool tissue before, during, and after treatment procedures.
Benefits of cold air therapy include:
- Continuous cooling delivery
- Non-contact treatment application
- Precise treatment targeting
- Consistent temperature control
- No consumables required
- All-day operation capability

- Radiofrequency treatments
- Cosmetic laser applications
- Skin cooling protocols
Nine Adjustable Airflow Levels
The Cryo 6 features nine selectable airflow levels, allowing practitioners to customize cooling intensity according to treatment objectives and patient comfort requirements. The variable airflow system supports both localized treatment applications and broader cooling protocols across larger treatment areas.
Benefits include:
- Customized cooling intensity
- Flexible treatment delivery
- Patient-specific adjustments
- Enhanced practitioner control
- Improved treatment versatility
- Consistent clinical performance
Custom Treatment Program Storage
The system includes programmable settings that allow clinicians to save frequently used treatment parameters. Cryo 6 supports up to three custom treatment programs that can be stored and recalled with a single button press, helping streamline workflow and improve treatment consistency.
Advantages include:
- Faster treatment setup
- Consistent protocol implementation
- Improved workflow efficiency
- Convenient program recall
- Simplified operation
- Enhanced clinic productivity
Ergonomic Clinical Design
The Cryo 6 is engineered for daily clinical operation with an emphasis on usability, efficiency, and treatment flexibility.
