Radiofrequency Probes
Flexible tips and different tip configurations
facilitate hip joint access
Smith & Nephew DYONICS◊ EFLEX◊ Radiofrequency Probes can deflect up to 100°, enabling access into areas of the hip joint that are difficult to reach with conventional rigid probes. Tip deflection is actuated by an easy-to-pull trigger system, with an ergonomically designed handle and palm grip. This system also simplifies procedure preparation with an integrated power cable, eliminating the need to purchase and re-sterilize separate cables.

Totally insulated shaft reduces RF effect on surrounding tissue
Low-profile 3.5 mm diameter shaft fits a 5.5 mm cannula
Comfortable handle with finger indents and shaped palm rest
provide a sure grip; trigger actuator pulls easily for tip flexion
Integrated cable attaches directly to generator
Robust mechanical design ensures reliable performance
Extra long 240 mm shaft improves joint access
Up to 100° tip flexion allows greater access,
