Oklahoma Surgical Hospital is now offering the Iovera° treatment to patients. This is non-opioid pain relief treatment, preformed before knee or shoulder replacement surgery or to treat chronic pain. It is a cryoanalgesia system that delivers a localized nerve block that lasts for up to 90 days.
Iovera° is:
– FDA cleared to block pain
– Provides immediate, long-lasting relief of acute (postsurgical) and chronic pain
– The Iovera° treatment is localized and does not inject any drugs into the body

The Iovera° system is used to destroy tissue during surgical procedures by applying freezing cold. It can also be used to produce lesions in peripheral nervous tissue by the application of cold to the selected site for the blocking of pain. It is also indicated for the relief of pain and symptoms associated with osteoarthritis of the knee for up to 90 days. Ask your Orthopedic Surgeon for more information about Iovera°.
