Medtronic OsteoCool 1.0
by Medtronic
OsteoCool™ RF Ablation employs a technique known as cooled radiofrequency ablation (RFA). This minimally invasive procedure is used to treat bone tumors, particularly metastatic bone tumors which originated from cancer in other parts of the body. The OsteoCool procedure can help alleviate pain and stabilize bone with smaller incisions, less tissue damage and shorter recovery times compared to traditional surgical approaches.
• The OsteoCool™ RF ablation system is cooled radiofrequency (RF) ablation technology that 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.1
• 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
• RF ablation probes are sterile and intended for single use
