Shots:

• Abbott has launched the IonicRF Generator- which is used to deliver a non-surgical- minimally invasive treatment for the management of pain in the nervous system
• Radiofrequency ablation uses an electric current to heat up a small area of nerve tissue to stop it from sending pain signals. Studies showed that pain relief following a single radiofrequency ablation treatment can last from 6-12mos.
• The IonicRF generator is the first Abbott-developed radiofrequency ablation device that uses heat to target specific nerves & block pain signals from reaching the brain- currently approved in the US & EU
