Abstract
An applicator for applying cryogenic fluid to a treatment area is described, the applicator comprising: a reservoir () configured to contain a cryogenic fluid comprising a gas phase (G) and a liquid phase (L). A nozzle () extends from a proximal end arranged in fluid communication with the reservoir () to an open distal end () for application of fluid to a treatment area. An actuatable valve is provided to selectively allow a flow of cryogenic fluid from the reservoir () through the distal end of the nozzle (). A spacer () extends distally beyond the distal end () of the nozzle (), the spacer () comprising a skin contacting surface () at its distal end. A porous material () is provided between the distal end () of the nozzle (), at least between the open end of the nozzle and the skin contacting surface of the spacer.
