Abstract:
1. A cryosurgical device comprising: a first type of cryoprobe comprising a first-cryoprobe supply flow conduit and a first-cryoprobe return flow conduit; a second type of cryoprobe comprising a second-cryoprobe supply flow conduit and a second-cryoprobe return flow conduit; a socket comprising a socket supply flow conduit and two socket return flow conduits, wherein the first type of cryoprobe and the second type of cryoprobe are configured to be inserted into the socket such that only one of the first type of cryoprobe and the second type of cryoprobe is inside the socket at a time a control for a supply and a removal of a coolant gas to the first type of cryoprobe and the second type of cryoprobe when inserted into the socket; wherein the second-cryoprobe return flow conduit requires a different supply pressure or backflow pressure than the first-cryoprobe return flow conduit, and wherein the removal of the coolant gas from the second type of cryoprobe when inserted in the socket takes place via the second-cryoprobe return flow conduit and a first of the two socket return flow conduits and the removal of the coolant gas from the first type of cryoprobe when inserted in the socket takes place via the first-cryoprobe return flow conduit and a second of the two socket return flow conduits.
