THE COOLIEF* COOLED RADIO FREQUENCY SYSTEM – HOW DOES IT WORK?

A radiofrequency generator sends a controlled RF energy current through an insulated electrode inserted into tissue. This ionic heating, generated by the friction of charged molecules, effectively deactivates nerves that transmit pain signals to the brain. COOLIEF* Cooled RF, a minimally-invasive treatment, specifically targets sources of pain and has been clinically proven to offer chronic back pain patients up to 24 months of pain relief, improved physical function, and reduced reliance on medications.

  • Delivers up to 3.7 times more energy than standard RF.
  • COOLIEF* allows for angle independence
  • Distally projects 45% or greater beyond the probe tip
  • Larger, spherically-shaped cooled RF lesions may increase the probability that target nerves with known nerve path complexity and variability – such as sacral lateral branches, thoracic and cervical medial branches, and the articular sensory branches of the knee and hip joints – will be successfully captured and ablated.

COOLIEF* RADIOFREQUENCY SYSTEM

The COOLIEF* RF System streamlines RF ablation, featuring capabilities for Cooled, Standard, Pulsed, and Dual Bipolar RF. It includes a newly designed RF generator, quad pump, and therapy cables.

COOLIEF* COOLED RF PAIN MANAGEMENT RADIOFREQUENCY PROBE

The probe is equipped with a 4-foot connecting cable and tubing extension to extend beyond the sterile field. These connect to the generator and peristaltic pump unit to deliver RF energy and internal cooling. A thermocouple within the probe continuously monitors the temperature of the cooled electrode during the procedure. Additionally, a radiopaque marker at the proximal end of the active tip indicates the lesion location under fluoroscopy, ensuring accurate positioning.

COOLIEF* COOLED RF PAIN MANAGEMENT TUBE KIT

The sterile, single-use tube kit facilitates closed-loop circulation of sterile water through the probe. It comprises a burette for water storage, connected to tubing that interfaces with the pump unit.
