Skin tag removal devices

A device for application of cryogenic matter directly on a skin lesion while protecting collateral skin tissue from being damaged by the cryogenic matter, comprising:

• an applicator body having first and second opposing tweezer arms,
• a plurality of canisters containing cryogenic matter;
• and
• first and second disposable tips, each disposable tip mechanically connected to an end of a respective tweezer arm, each disposable tip including:
• a conduit configured to receive therein cryogenic matter;
• an absorbent application element configured to absorb and contain cryogenic matter and having an exposed face configured to apply the cryogenic matter directly onto the skin lesion when the first and second opposing tweezer arms are brought together upon the skin lesion;
• a thermally conductive material in contact with at least a portion of the absorbent application element, said thermally conductive material:
• configured to conduct cold from the absorbent application element;
• and
• includes a lip extending circumferentially around at least a portion of the absorbent application element;
• and
• a layer of thermally insulating material disposed exterior to portions of the thermally conductive material, the thermally insulating material configured to protect skin collateral to the skin lesion from being damaged by the cryogenic matter;
• wherein:
• at least a portion of the lips of the first and second disposable tips are free of the layer of thermally insulating material;
• and,
• when cryogenic matter is delivered from the canisters to the application elements of the first and second disposable tips and the first and second opposing tweezer arms are placed on either side of the skin lesion and then squeezed together upon the skin lesion:
• the lips of the first and second disposable tips freeze a base of the skin lesion;
• and
• the exposed faces of the absorbent application elements of the first and second disposable tips freeze a portion of the skin lesion further away from the collateral skin than the base of the skin lesion.
