This medical equipment is in pristine, unused condition, sealed in its original packaging, and untampered with since leaving the manufacturer. It may have been removed from the packaging for the purpose of photo.

The Abbott RFDE-15 electrode is a single-use, disposable radiofrequency probe of 15 cm length designed for minimally invasive pain management procedures (e.g. nerve ablation, PRF, neurotomy). In use, the physician places the electrode percutaneously (often through a cannula or via image guidance) at the target nerve tissue. The RF generator then drives alternating current through the electrode, generating heat at the tip and inducing a controlled lesion to interrupt pain signal conduction. Because the electrode is disposable, it removes the need for cleaning or sterilizing sensitive internal components and reduces cross-contamination risk.

The 3-meter cable design ensures that the main RF generator and its electronics remain outside the sterile field, while a short adapter segment bridges the sterile/disposable portion. This layout helps maintain sterility, reduces cable clutter in the procedural zone, and provides flexibility for maneuvering the electrode in confined spaces. Being part of the Abbott / NeuroTherm product family suggests it is engineered to match impedance, temperature control, and safety interlocks of compatible generators in that ecosystem.

Clinically, the RFDE-15 is suited for targeting nerves at moderate depth — 15 cm length gives reach beyond superficial tissues but is still manageable for many anatomic targets. Its disposable nature supports workflow efficiency in pain clinics or surgical suites. When choosing such electrodes, operators consider tip design (active length), temperature control, cable consistency, and generator compatibility, all while ensuring safety features like impedance monitoring and thermal cut-off are respected. Because full engineering specs are not publicly disclosed, users should always refer to the manufacturer’s Instructions for Use and compatibility charts to ensure safe and effective application.
