Get Training for Cryotherapy
with the Aid of Galil Medical
As part of the Galil Medical’s core philosophy and quality commitment to provide minimally invasive cryotherapy solutions to enhance patient quality of life, extensive resources are invested in developing professional education and training programs for physicians, nurses and technicians. Professional training programs promote the use of cryotherapy ablation to meet the healthcare needs of patients.
The Galil Medical cryotherapy platform is a user-friendly, computerized system that allows physicians to perform rapid cycles of freezing and thawing to ablate specific types of prostate cancer, small kidney tumors and other benign and cancerous tissue. The company’s patented ultra-thin 17-gauge cryoablation needles have helped make minimally invasive cryosurgery (freezing) a reality.
Galil Medical supports training programs at top medical facilities across the United States and Europe with the goal to accelerate the use of cryoablation as a minimally invasive treatment option for patients.
Physicians
Physicians interested in becoming cryotherapy specialists may attend one of Galil Medical’s workshops. These workshops are intended for physicians interested in offering their patients minimally invasive cryosurgical ablation treatment option for prostate and renal cancers using Galil Medical cryotherapy systems.
Workshops are led by leading experts in the field of cryotherapy, who present both prostate and renal procedures. In addition, physicians will be trained in the basics of cryobiology, the cellular mechanisms affecting tissue destruction, and lab sessions provide the opportunity to experience cryotherapy hands-on.
Regional Training Workshops
Physician Proctorship
Galil Medical has instituted a Proctoring Program, where new physicians receive one-on-one proctoring by an experienced cryosurgeon for several procedures.
Nurses
Galil Medical cryotherapy application specialists (CAS) undergo intensive training on all of Galil Medical products in order to pass this knowledge in training sessions onsite specifically designed for nurses.
The training focuses on surgical site preparation including basic cryobiology, physical setup, required equipment and instruments, as well as supplies, standard procedures and Galil Medical products, their functionality and use in the operating room.
Technicians
Our highly experienced cryotherapy application specialists (CAS) undergo intensive training on all of Galil Medical products. This knowledge they then take to the hospital support staff, setting up training onsite specifically designed for technicians.
Local or regional teams conduct training courses to maintain quality standards for cryosurgical treatments. This training focuses on hospital site preparation including physical setup, required equipment and instruments, as well as supplies, standard procedures and use of products.
