COOLIEF* Cooled Radiofrequency (RF) provides up to 12 months of pain relief.
Expand your pain relief options and consider COOLIEF* Cooled RF.
When compared to intra-articular steroid injections, COOLIEF* Cooled RF was found to provide:
• Significantly greater and longer-lasting pain relief
• Improved physical function
• Higher patient satisfaction1
