Key Features
Radiopaque Platinum Band: Features a platinum marker at the distal end of the active tip. This provides high-contrast visualization under fluoroscopy (X-ray), allowing the physician to precisely define the lesion's location before applying heat.
Curved Sharp Tip: The curved design allows for more maneuverability and steering within the tissue, helping the clinician navigate around bony structures to reach the target nerve more accurately than a straight needle.
High-Quality Insulation: The shaft is coated with medical-grade insulation to protect non-targeted tissues, ensuring the thermal energy is only delivered through the 5 mm active tip.
Sure-Grip Hub: Designed for tactile feedback and control during insertion, typically color-coded to match the specific gauge of the needle.
