Intracept - VBN Ablation

The Intracept Procedure is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure for patients with vertebrogenic pain. The procedure targets a specific nerve within the vertebra called the basivertebral nerve and has been shown to improve function and relieve pain long-term. The procedure is implant-free, preserving future treatment options for other spine conditions.Under fluoroscopic guidance, the Intracept® Introducer Cannula Assembly is advanced through the pedicle.The Intracept® Curved Cannula Assembly is used to create a channel to the trunk of the basivertebral nerve.The Intracept® RF Probe is inserted into the curved path and placed at the trunk of the basivertebral nerve.The Intracept® RF Generator is used to deliver radiofrequency energy that ablates the basivertebral nerve.
