Bridge The Gap to Joint Surgery

A MINIMALLY INVASIVE, NON-OPIOID PROCEDURE FOR CHRONIC KNEE, SHOULDER OR HIP PAIN

When surgery must wait, but joint pain can’t, COOLIEF* Cooled Radiofrequency (RF) can bridge the gap to joint surgery, so patients don’t have to put their lives on pause. COOLIEF* Cooled RF is clinically proven to provide up to 24 months of pain relief1,2 . When compared to both intra-articular steroid injections3 and hyaluronic acid4, COOLIEF* Cooled RF was found to provide:

  • Significantly greater and longer-lasting pain relief
  • Improved physical function
  • Higher patient satisfaction

Read The Study

Avanos recently announced the publication of a large, randomized, multicentered clinical trial comparing the safety and efficacy of COOLIEF* Cooled Radiofrequency ablation to hyaluronic acid  injection for the management of chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis.

Watch The Webinar

Watch to learn about recently published data from a large, randomized, multicentered clinical trial comparing COOLIEF* Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation to a single injection of hyaluronic acid for the management of knee osteoarthritis. Dr. Antonia Chen, lead investigator of the study, will share a study overview along with results, including pain relief, function and patient satisfaction.
