Description
Key Features
Tethered Fluid Port: The integrated side-port allows for the "instillation" of numbing agents or contrast media without disturbing the probe's position. This ensures the treatment remains precisely on the target nerve.
Precision for Shallow Targets: The 50 mm length is the standard for knee (genicular) procedures, where nerves are located closer to the surface.
Insulated Shaft: The stainless steel cannula is fully insulated to ensure that radiofrequency energy is only delivered through the 2 mm active tip, protecting the surrounding skin and non-target tissue.
Radiopaque Marker: Highly visible under fluoroscopy (X-ray) for exact tip placement verification.
Single-Puncture Efficiency: Combines aspiration, fluid delivery, and RF ablation into a single access point, reducing procedural time.

Kit Context
The FDI-17-50-2 is often found in specialized procedural kits:
COOLIEF* Genicular (Knee) Kits: These typically contain the 50 mm probes and three matching FDIs per kit.
Multi-Cooled RF Kits: Used for treating multiple nerves (like the three main genicular nerves) in a single session.
