The electrode thermocouple measures temperature and, through a feedback circuit, automatically adjusting energy delivery to maintain the set temperature in the tissue. To be used with ATTIVA device (K220505)
A semi-flexible, hand-held surgical instrument intended to be percutaneously introduced via a dedicated cannula [under x-ray, ultrasound (US) or other external image guidance] to deliver radio-frequency current, in a monopolar configuration, from a system generator directly to peripheral nerve tissues to coagulate/ablate them for the treatment of pain. It includes a distal monopolar electrode which may include temperature-sensing elements; the introduction cannula may be included. This is a reusable device.
