Controlled Ablation Technology
Innovative, proven, class leading, patented technology
The RF-powered plasma field at the tip of the tissue-sparing 17G SpineWand offers micro-invasive access, and precision control, allowing the physician to gently ablate a small volume of tissue within the nucleus, to decompress the disc and surrounding nerve structures within the lower spine. Controlled ablation allows for gentle, targeted removal of nucleus tissue without using heat, therefore helping prevent damage to adjacent structures8
