COOLIEF*
Pain Management System
A REVOLUTION IN RADIOFREQUENCY
COOLIEF* COOLED RADIOFREQUENCY
PAIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
WHEN THE MOST ADVANCED RF SYSTEM IN
THE WORLD OFFERS MORE PAIN TREATMENT
OPTIONS THAN EVER, IMAGINE WHERE LIFE
COULD TAKE YOUR PATIENTS.
Patients who experience chronic back pain typically
recover within a few months. But for pain originating
in the facet joints or in the disc tissue1 that hasn’t been
relieved by conservative treatments, radiofrequency
neurotomy is an effective means of reducing pain for
up to 24 months.2
The COOLIEF* Cooled Radiofrequency Pain Management
System features the most advanced and comprehensive
RF Generator available, providing more application
modalities than any other RF system. Designed with
rich functionality, yet simple to operate, it’s the only RF
system offering physicians the ability to perform either
Conventional or COOLIEF* Cooled RF.
COOLIEF* COOLED RF PAIN
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The COOLIEF* Cooled RF System enables placement
of large volume, spherical lesions in nervous and disc
tissue without increased risk of adjacent tissue damage.
IONIC HEATING OF TISSUE USING
COOLED RF
• Without cooling, the size of the lesion is limited by
the heat generated in tissue adjacent to the electrode
• Cooled RF energy heats the tissue while circulating
water moderates the temperature in close proximity
to the electrode
COOLIEF* Cooled RF circulates water through the device
while heating nervous tissue to create a treatment area
that is larger than conventional RF treatments. This
combination targets the pain-causing nerves without
excessive heating, leading to pain relief. This unique,
patented, water-cooled technology unleashes the
potential for a host of current and future RF treatment
options for chronic spinal, knee and hip pain, to help
give patients the quality of life they deserve.

Standard RF lesions are typically 3 to 4 mm in size, but
cooled RF allows lesions of up to 8 to 12 mm while
decreasing the risk of tissue charring.3
THE POWER OF TARGETED
TREATMENT EVEN IN DIFFICULT
TO TREAT SPINE ANATOMY
COOLIEF* COOLED RF FOR CHRONIC CERVICAL PAIN
Anatomically tailored cooled RF system offering relief in the cervical region by
delivering large volume lesions where anatomy and nerve path are variable.
COOLIEF* COOLED RF FOR CHRONIC LUMBAR
BACK PAIN
Large volume, anatomy-specific lesion using a perpendicular approach
encompasses the medial branch nerve in one pass, eliminating the need for
multiple passes.
COOLIEF* SINERGY* COOLED RF FOR CHRONIC
SACROILIAC JOINT PAIN
Large volume lesions ablate the variable target neural structures between the
posterior sacral foramina and the painful SI joint.
COOLIEF* COOLED RF FOR CHRONIC THORACIC
FACET PAIN
Large volume lesion size and position compensate for the variable course of
the medial branch nerve, especially in the mid-thoracic levels.
COOLIEF* TRANSDISCAL* COOLED RF FOR
DISCOGENIC BACK PAIN
For intervertebral disc biacuplasty, bipolar probe placement straight into the
disc creates large, reproducible lesion within a significant volume of the disc.
COOLIEF* COOLED RF FOR CHRONIC HIP
JOINT PAIN
Now available to target and treat sensory branches of the obturator and
femoral nerves innervating the hip joint.
COOLIEF* COOLED RF FOR CHRONIC
KNEE PAIN
A minimally invasive option for genicular nerve ablation.

GENERATOR
• The only generator that supports both standard RF and the
cooled RF platform
• Features upgradeable platform for future technologies
STANDARD RF AND COOLIEF*
COOLED RF MULTI-COOLED RF
MODULE
• Enables placement of up to 4 lesions at once
• Reduces procedure time to improve OR utilisation
• Provides independent impedance monitoring of
all 4 probes during placement
• Intelligent pump logic automatically maps any
cooled RF probe
COOLIEF* COOLED RF PROBE
• Connects to generator for RF energy delivery
• Circulating sterile water allows for higher power delivery and larger volume of
treated tissue, while minimising risk of tissue adherence
• Temperature sensor ensures appropriate thermal gradient in target tissue
• Radiopaque marker defines location under fluoroscopy for enhanced visualisation
