TC RF injection Electrodes (CU)

The ultimate in functionality, precision, and control, the Cosman Unified^TM (CU) is a disposable, tissue-piercing RF cannula/electrode with a long fluid injection line and thermocouple (TC) temperature sensor. The CU^TM is identical to the CR injection electrode with the addition of a TC to enable temperature-controlled RF lesioning. Use for sensitive targets around the spine where it is critical to maintain electrode position during injection and where you desire maximal lesion-size control. The CU's design is unique and protected by U.S. Patent 7,862,563.

Temperature Control and Flexible Injection for Sensitive Spinal Targets

The CU electrode has a discrete, ergonomic hub for clear fluoroscopic views and easy handling. The 5 mm active tip size is well suited for radiofrequency facet deneravations, DRG pulsed RF, podatric RF, and other RF procedures. Each electrode comes sterile-packed to eliminate sterilization planning, and has sharp, beveled tip to eliminate the need for an introducer cannula. A variety of shaft lengths are available for targeting nerves in different parts of the spine:

6 cm
10 cm
15 cm

The CU Simplifies RF Procedures and Improves Precision

In classical RF practice, the RF cannula is electrified using a separate RF electrode, and numerous manipulations are required to both inject anesthetic and lesion a nerve. Today, the new Cosman CU^TM injection electrode unifies a cannula, electrode, and flexible injection port into a single tissue-piercing, temperature-measuring device. Since the CU electrode does not need to be manipulated through stimulation, injection, and lesioning, you can ensure that the electrode doesn't shift from its intended position.
