7 medical devices combating the opioid crisis

5. COOLIEF Cooled RF

Halyard Health

Halyard Health’s Coolief Cooled RF (radiofrequency) is a device that is a thermal radiofrequency system that uses water-cooled technology to stop pain-causing sensory nerves.

The device delivers RF energy through water-cooled electrodes. That delivery creates large-volume, spherically-shaped lesions that project 45% past the tip of the probe. Friction of charged molecules creates ionic heating that thermally deactivates the nerves.

Halyard Health reports that the therapy has been clinically proven to provide up to 24 months of pain relief, improved physical functionality and reduced drug utilization.
