Ionic
The IonicRFâ„¢ Generator is a medical device developed by Abbott for the treatment of chronic pain through radiofrequency ablation (RFA). This technique uses heat to disrupt the transmission of nerve signals responsible for pain, offering a minimally invasive alternative to surgery.
Key features
- Therapeutic multimodality: Supports treatments in monopolar, bipolar, pulsed, and pulsed dose modalities, as well as sacroiliac denervation with the Simplicityâ„¢ system.
- Broad anatomical coverage: Indicated for treating pain in the cervical and lumbar spine, sacroiliac joint, face, shoulders, knees, hips, and feet.
- ProChargeâ„¢ intelligent algorithm: Optimizes energy delivery to achieve uniform and controlled ablations.
- Simultaneous treatments: Allows treating up to four sites at once, initiating the procedure simultaneously or sequentially.
- Compact and portable design: Features a 12-inch touch screen, intuitive interface, and compatibility with multiple needle gauges (16, 18, 20, and 22).
Clinical advantages
- Non-surgical procedure that reduces recovery time.
- High precision thanks to real-time temperature control.
- Improves efficacy in the treatment of persistent chronic pain.
- Ideal for clinical settings and operating rooms due to its ease of use and portability.
Common applications
- Cervical and lumbar facet pain.
- Pain in the sacroiliac joint.
- Peripheral joint pain (shoulders, hips, knees, feet).
