Description
Key Features
Tethered Fluid Port: Includes a specialized side-port that allows for the injection of local anesthetics, steroids, or contrast media while the RF probe remains in the introducer. This ensures the precise location of the ablation is not lost during fluid administration.
Large Lesion Capability: The 4 mm active tip allows for a larger, spherical area of nerve deactivation, which is particularly useful for nerves with anatomical variability.
Fully Insulated Shaft: The stainless steel cannula is insulated to protect the skin and surrounding healthy tissue, focusing the RF energy strictly at the tip.
Radiopaque Accuracy: The distal tip is highly visible under fluoroscopy, allowing physicians to confirm exact placement relative to the bone and target nerve before energy delivery.
Minimal Trauma: By combining fluid delivery and energy transmission into one device, it reduces the need for multiple punctures at the treatment site.
