Radio Frequency Ablation Device Has Wide Range of Applications Including Ankle Joint Ablation As It Destroys Targeted Tissue
Radio Frequency Ablation Device |
A Radio
Frequency Ablation Device delivers radiofrequency energy to target tissue
to destroy it. This technology eliminates the need for presizing, and allows
the physician to apply a large volume of RF energy in a single application. The
RF energy is delivered through electrodes. The radiation is absorbed by the
targeted tissue, causing hyperthermia and destruction. As a result, the target
tissue is charred, leaving a thin layer of tissue that prevents future RF
energy from reaching it.
Radio
Frequency Ablation Device has a wide
range of applications, including ankle joint ablation. However, recent
publications have reported that they can cause damage to capsular tissue and
chondrocytes. Thus, this method may not be appropriate for treating ankle
arthritis. Researchers wanted to determine whether they could perform this
procedure at lower temperatures without causing damage to the tissues.
An
ablation trocar comprises an ablation tip, a plurality of axially oriented
ridges, and a slidable cannula. The cannula is secured to the point by pins.
The point is further equipped with surfaces for guiding the stylets. The wires
extend along the trocar and are of a minimal size relative to the number of
stylets. These wires may serve as anchors depending on the angle of insertion.
A central axial member may have a thin design to provide additional volume to
the ablation electrode. The delivery member 712 may be made of metal. The
electrode may be shaped in a variety of ways, including a reverse-angled shape.
Moreover, the stylet may be positioned in different positions to create a
volume-specific ablation.
The
Arthrex CoolCut Radio Frequency Ablation Device is ergonomically
designed for comfortable use. It has a finger-touch control for easy operation.
The 90-degree version fits through a 5mm cannula, and the CoolCut shaft coating
is designed to be easy to insert through working cannulas and subcutaneous
tissue. This device can be used in small-incisions and at low power settings.
In November 2020, Abbott introduced IonicRF Generator in the U.S., it is a
radiofrequency ablation device using heat for targeting particular nerves and preventing
pain signals from going to the brain.
