The LCE Kit is indicated for use in RF heat lesion making procedures for the treatment of pain.

The LCE Kit was designed by Dr. Allan B. Levin, MD and Dr. Eric R. Cosman, PhD.* It contains an LCE-TC Electrode with a sharpened exposed tip having 0.25 mm tip diameter and 1.8 mm tip length. It has a built-in thermocouple (TC) temperature sensor for fast-responding monitoring of the RF heat lesioning process.

The LCE-TC Electrode’s small RF tip can produce a discrete lesion volume in the lateral spinothalamic tract. The LCE-TC Electrode also has the LCE-SC Sizing Clamp on its hub to allow adjustability of the RF tip extension beyond the tip of the introducing LCE-LP Spinal Needle (shown in the figure). The LCE Kit comes with three LCE-LP Spinal Needle and stylet sets, each having a 20-gauge, 3½ inch long shaft and 30 degree bevel point. The CB112-TC Cable connects the LCE-TC Electrode to the Cosman RF Generators.

LCE-TC, TC Electrode with LCE-SC Sizing Clamp;

LCE-LP, (three each) Spinal Needle Sets;

CB112-TC, TC Cable;

LCE-CASE, Case for storage and sterilization.



Same as the LCE Kit but with the C112-TC Cable for the Radionics RFG-3C Plus RF Lesion Generator (instead of the CB112-TC Cable).
