Cryotherapy (or “frost therapy”) has been used for centuries and is growing in popularity. Over the last several years, numerous cryotherapy “spas” have opened in the United States and, as of 2017, there were some 400 such spas operating cryochambers (or cryosaunas) in 38 states. Cryotherapy spas have come under scrutiny after a 2015 incident […]
3D printing is officially skyrocketing, with industrial applications in medical, biotech, aerospace, defense, and consumer electronics industries growing daily. At the heart of this acceleration is the additive manufacturing or AM process, which allows for easy printing from computer-aided design templates. As this new technology reaches its tipping point, review what the growth process says about the safety […]
Why a CO2 Monitor May be Needed? Where Carbon Dioxide leaks Occur Do you work with carbon dioxide (or CO2) in your industry? If so, then you may need a carbon dioxide monitor to check for gas leaks that could pose a hazard to your workplace safety. Learn common scenarios where carbon dioxide can leak and see how […]
You feel the pulse of the music and the energy of the crowd around you. The beat is infectious and before you know it you are on the dance floor moving your body and having a good time. As the rhythm builds and your hips shake, one thing is holding you back and preventing you […]
Carbon dioxide, in its solid form, is colder than ice. It is so cold, in fact, that handling it without protection can cause frostbite. It does not melt, but instead dissipates into a gas that can be dangerous to breathe. This substance is called dry ice, and, when handled properly, has many useful applications. The […]
Cryotherapy is a medical treatment that uses extremely low temperatures to help with pain and inflammation. Not to be confused with cryopreservation, during cryotherapy, only the patient is subjected to extreme cold for a short amount of time. It may seem futuristic, but it is actually an increasingly common treatment among athletes to replace […]
The word cryopreservation sounds like something from a science fiction movie. Maybe a man from the past was frozen in time, only to reawaken decades later, unharmed and unaware that he had been frozen at all. Though this scenario seems far-fetched, on a smaller scale, cryopreservation is a commonplace practice in the 21st century. […]
PureAire Monitoring Systems manufactures and distributes oxygen monitors for safety, and as of July 2013, most monitors now include UL/CUL listings. Their monitors make sure oxygen remains at a safe and breathable level in areas that utilize gasses such as nitrogen, dry ice, helium, and argon. These gases, commonly known as cryogenic gases, can […]
