Helping advance medical technology
The concept of using freezing techniques to control pain has been around since the ancient Greeks, but modern technology has taken it to a whole new level. Cryotherapy, as it’s called, was originally developed as a treatment for cardiac arrhythmias, but is now being used by pain management experts to temporarily block pain by freezing specific nerve pathways during medical procedures.
So, while most of us think of large applications for aluminum – cars, aircraft and construction materials – some of the most critical applications for the aluminum we produce are tiny. Our facility in Chandler, Arizona produces the aluminum tubing used to make the Cryo nerve block device possible.
