Description
Key Features
Integrated Side-Port: Features the signature tethered port that allows for the injection of local anesthetics, contrast media, or steroids while the RF probe remains in place. This ensures the physician maintains the exact position of the ablation without needing to withdraw the probe for medication delivery.
Maximum Lesion Size: The 5.5 mm active tip is specifically engineered to work with water-cooling technology to create a substantial, spherical thermal lesion. This maximizes the likelihood of capturing target nerves that are difficult to isolate with smaller tips.
Insulated Cannula Shaft: The stainless steel body is fully insulated, protecting non-target tissue and ensuring that the RF energy is focused entirely at the distal treatment site.
Radiopaque Accuracy: The tip is highly visible under fluoroscopy (X-ray), providing the physician with the precision needed for anatomical verification before starting the cooling cycle.
Enhanced Clinical Efficiency: By allowing fluid delivery and RF access through a single puncture, the FDI reduces procedural steps, needle sticks, and overall time in the sterile suite.
