Main Features of YES C DISC

Curved Tip

The catheter tip is curved and It looks like a golf club. Compared with a straight tip, such curve produces a wide area of treatment. Moreover it gives a better control over the direction of the needle to target the ablation site.

Minimization of Thickness

YES C DISC needle size is 19 gauge. Because of such small size, the damage resulting from the ablation is minimal. This is big advantage when patients ask for a very small approach.

Rotation of 360 degree

It is possible to rotate the needle 360 degrees while performing the ablation. This rotation expands lesion area widely and effects maximization.

YES C DISC Indications

	Discogenic Pain Pain originating from the intervertebral disc is described as discogenic pain. It occurs when the annulus fibrosus is cracked or fissured, the patient usually feels low back pain that may radiate along nerve root.
	Herniated Nucleus Pulposus This Is what is commonly called “waist Pain”. The intervertebral disc is like a cushion inbetween the vertebral bodies. The nucleus pulposus may bulge or pushes its way through a fissure in the annulus fibrosus. This may exert pressure on the nerve root causing pain.
	Radicular Pain This type of pain occurs when there is pressure on the nerve root by herniated disc. The pain is felt in the area supplied by the affected nerve root, that is why the patient describes it as spreading from the back down to his leg.
	Internal Disc Derangement It causes back pain by broken annulus fibrous surrounding nucleus pulposus. It appears black shadow instead of disc herniated in MRI.
