RIWOspine - Radio frequency system
Radiofrequency System
The Radioblator RF4 radiofrequency generator, with an operating frequency of 4 MHz, is at the heart of an effective, tissue-sparing coagulation system. Compared to standard high-frequency devices on the market, the RF4’s operating frequency is approximately 10 times higher.
Whilst safe coagulation and ablation of the tissue at the electrode can be achieved through direct contact with the tissue, adjacent tissue areas experience significantly less heat. This minimises the occurrence of thermally induced tissue necrosis and irritation in adjacent nerves. The actively articulating TipControl RF electrode enables controlled positioning of the radiofrequency application within the tissue.

Thinking around the corner - the TipControl concept
TipControl instruments can be angled at the distal end. They are used in particular for full-endoscopic operations on the spine in order to achieve a sufficient range of movement through minimally invasive approaches to the surgical site.
TipControl RF instruments
Precisely focussed 4 MHz radiofrequency technology for fully endoscopic spinal surgery. Your advantages in function and ergonomics:
360° handling without changing the position of the hand
Ergonomic handle shape for optimum use with all full-endoscopic approaches
Maximum safety thanks to thumb ring guide
Different working lengths for interlaminar and transforaminal applications
Targeted application and precision thanks to the angled joint tip

A major advantage of endoscopic surgical procedures for the spine is that the angled viewing direction allows users to ‘look around corners’. This enables better visualisation over a larger area during an operation. It is absolutely crucial that the working instruments can be adjusted and angled to the field of view in order to perform interventions using endoscopy.
