Revolutionary Next-Gen Access Instruments for Chronic Low Back Pain Treatment Unveiled by Relievant Medsystems

Cutting-Edge Access Instruments Set to Revolutionize Intracept Procedure, Transforming Treatment for Chronic Vertebrogenic Low Back Pain

Relievant Medsystems, a company dedicated to transforming the diagnosis and treatment of vertebrogenic low back pain, today announced the release of next-generation Intracept Access Instruments. The new instruments offer more predictable and precise targeting of the basivertebral nerve (BVN) during the proven, durable, and safe Intracept Procedure.

We are committed to continued innovation in support of our physicians as we expand patient treatment with the Intracept Procedure. Today, we are pleased to announce the launch of several new instruments offering greater control, precision, and ease of use during the procedure, said Tyler Binney, President and CEO of Relievant Medsystems. These next-generation Intracept Access Instruments are purpose built to enhance BVN access and procedural efficiency while consistently delivering positive outcomes.

More than 10,000 patients have been treated with Relievant Medsystems’ minimally invasive Intracept Procedure, the only FDA-cleared treatment for chronic vertebrogenic low back pain. The same-day outpatient procedure uses targeted radiofrequency energy to stop the BVN from transmitting pain signals to the brain and takes approximately one hour to perform.

The next-generation Intracept Access Instruments are designed for predictable performance across a wide range of bone densities and include:

• Bevel and Diamond Introducers to enable consistent access with a depth marker for optimal positioning
• Curved Cannula Assembly with J-Stylet that allows for true steerability to create a predictable path to the BVN
• Straight Stylet to efficiently extend or change access path trajectory
• In addition to these access instruments, the Intracept RF Probe, which delivers targeted radiofrequency energy, now features a flexible shaft to increase C-arm operating clearance

I have been performing the Intracept Procedure for more than a decade and I have seen the profound impact it has on improving patients’ lives, said Gregory Moore, MD, Co-Founder and Partner of Pacific Sports and Spine. “The next-generation Intracept Access Instruments raise the bar by delivering even more predictable performance and empower physicians to more readily access and target the BVN for lasting pain relief.

The release of the next-generation Intracept Access Instruments was announced at the Fifth Annual American Society of Pain and Neuroscience (ASPN) Conference taking place July 13-16 in Miami.
