PERCULINE endo joint
PERCULINE endo joint is a specially developed instrument system for endoscopically controlled denervation of the facet and sacroiliac joint. In combination with the 4 MHz RADIOBLATOR RF generator, it offers a holistically convincing system solution.
The visually controlled and precisely focused energy input also enables optimized treatment success. Endoscopically controlled denervation allows both the medial and lateral branches of the dorsal ramus to be visualized, safely transected and coagulated.
Denervation of the facet and sacroiliac joint.
Thermal denervation of the vertebral or sacroiliac joints involves interrupting the transmission of pain signals from the site of origin, i.e. the vertebral joints, to the brain by heating the pain fibers. In this way, local discomfort can be significantly reduced.
Denervation of the facet joint
The small facet joints are surrounded by a dense network of nerve fibers. These are irritated by inflammatory processes that occur, for example, in osteoarthritis. Direct mechanical irritation can also occur due to instability. Leading symptoms are back pain or neck pain without significant radiation and without neurological deficits. Pain is directed along the medial branches of the dorsal ramus spinal nerve. Therefore, the goal of 4 Mhz radiofrequency denervation is to selectively destroy these nerve fibers to permanently interrupt pain conduction.
Denervation of the sacroiliac joint
The sacroiliac joint is often a generator of back pain. Sacroiliac joint syndrome often occurs after spinal stabilization because of the increased stress placed on it after surgery. This in turn leads to mechanical and inflammatory irritation of the nerves at this joint.
Along the dorsal ramus of the spinal nerve, further transmission of pain is possible. These can be thermally eliminated at the point where the nerves leave the sacrum.
