Can the CoolMini be used without the liner in it and just the gel trap?

Hello,

The liner can be very frustrating at times, however at this point it is very necessary. It will protect the patient from having a thermal event, which can cause some complications later.

Hello aupello,
No, it is protocol to use a liner with the Coolmini hand
piece with every application. Even though it is very frustrating with the
bubbling and ripping that happens when applying the Coolmini liner, the purpose
of the liner is to prevent a thermal event with the patient.

Best of Luck!

I recommend using the device as advised by Zeltiq.

with the coolmini the liner is a just a tegaderm dressing, this is just there to protect the applicator from any biodebri, blood or fluids.   I have been informed by the device reps that it is safe to use without.  The new advantage applicator is a large coolmini, it doesn't use a liner just has a modified gel pad.  

The liner should always be used in the CoolMini applicator as well as the other CoolScupting applicators.  The liner and the gel pad insure that the treatment will give the best results with no harm.
