Description
The Avanos MCK2-17-100-4 is a COOLIEF Multi-Cooled Radiofrequency (RF) Kit*. This is a specialized medical system used for chronic pain management, specifically designed to perform radiofrequency ablation on sensory nerves.
Unlike standard RF, which uses heat alone, the COOLIEF* system uses water-cooled technology to create larger, more effective lesions without excessive high-temperature damage to the surrounding tissue.
Key Specifications
The part number MCK2-17-100-4 breaks down into these specific technical details:
Kit Configuration (MCK2): A "Multi-Cooled" kit typically configured for a 2-probe procedure.
Probe Gauge (17): Features 17-gauge needles/probes.
Probe Length (100): A 100 mm shaft length, suitable for various anatomical depths.
Active Tip (4): A 4 mm active tip, which is the section of the probe that delivers the RF energy to the nerve.
Kit Contents
This is a comprehensive, sterile, single-use kit that typically includes:
2 COOLIEF Cooled RF Probes:* The active electrodes that deliver the energy.
4 Fluid Delivery Introducers: Cannulas used to guide the probes to the target site.
2 Sterile Tube Kits: For the circulation of cooling water to the probe tips.
Primary Uses
The COOLIEF* system is primarily used for the minimally invasive treatment of chronic pain that has not responded to conservative treatments. Common applications include:
Osteoarthritis of the Knee: Treating the genicular nerves to reduce chronic knee pain.
Lumbar Spine Pain: Targeting the medial branch nerves for lower back relief.
Hip Pain: Treating the sensory nerves surrounding the hip joint.
Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Pain: Creating larger lesion strips to capture variable nerve paths in the SI joint.
