Description
The COOLIEF* Cooled RF System enables placement of large volume, spherical lesions in nervous and disc tissue without increased risk of adjacent tissue damage. COOLIEF* Cooled RF circulates water through the device while heating nervous tissue to create a treatment area that is larger than conventional RF treatments. This combination targets the pain-causing nerves without excessive heating, leading to pain relief. This unique, patented, water-cooled technology unleashes the potential for a host of current and future RF treatment options for chronic spinal, knee and hip pain, to help give patients the quality of life they deserve.
COOLIEF* Cooled Radiofrequency Probe (sterile, single use)is inserted through the COOLIEF* Cooled Radiofrequency Introducer into or near nervous tissue. Sterile water circulates internally to cool the Probe while it delivers radiofrequency energy. A thermocouple in the Probe measures cooled electrode temperature throughout the procedure.
• Connects to generator for RF energy delivery
• Circulating sterile water allows for higher power delivery and larger volume of treated tissue, while
minimizing risk of tissue adherence
• Temperature sensor ensures appropriate thermal gradient in target tissue
