The OsteoCool RF Ablation system is cooled radiofrequency (RF) ablation technology. It offers simultaneous, dual-probe capabilities for treating painful bone tumors.
Coaxial, bipolar technology delivers RF energy to the site, and automatically moderates power to keep RF heating within the desired treatment range. This reduces risk of potential thermal damage to adjacent tissue.
The active tip of the ablation probe is internally cooled with circulating water. RF energy heats the tissue while circulating water moderates the temperature close to the active tip. This combination:
- Creates large volume lesions without excessive heating at the active tip
- Minimizes potential for char
The OsteoCool RF ablation probes are sterile and intended for single use.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR ABLATIONS OPTIONS
![OsteoCool can be utilized using one probe or two probes.](https://www.medtronic.com/content/dam/medtronic-com/products/spinal-orthopaedic/interventional-oncology/images/osteocool-1-and-2-probe-image.jpg)
You’ll find flexibility with a wide range of ablation scenarios for your patient and procedural needs:
- Metastatic and benign bone tumor ablation
- Simultaneous ablation of adjacent or multiple levels in the spine
- Simultaneous ablation using two probes, such as bipedicular spine tumor ablation
- Ablation using one probe
- Multiple active tip sizes and introducer gauge options
- Custom ablation zones
- Track ablation
