IDET™

INTRADISCAL ELECTROTHERMAL™ Therapy

Precise Catheter Placement

SpinecathPosition

Study results suggest that positioning of the SPINECATH^◊ catheter during the IDET^◊ procedure appears to have an impact on outcomes. The threshold temperatures reportedly needed to achieve therapeutic effects associated with the IDET^◊ procedure are 42°-45°C for denervation and 60°-65°C for collagen denaturation.

Only a properly positioned SPINECATH^◊ catheter can deliver the right amount of heat to injured areas of the disc

PreciseCatheter

Tissue modification through collagen denaturation—Gross macroscopic changes are seen in a circumferential area approximately 6x9mm, around the heating probe in the posterior region of the anulus.

Proper catheter placement assures delivery of the requisite levels of heat for denervation and collagen denaturation.
