Osteo Cool: A Detailed Look

• Definition: OsteoCool is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure that uses RF (radiofrequency) ablation technology to target and treat painful metastatic lesions in bones.
• How it works: Through the use of precisely controlled energy, OsteoCool heats the lesion area in the bone to a specific temperature. This technique ensures the destruction of tumor cells, thereby alleviating pain. The dual cooling channels ensure that the surrounding healthy tissue remains unharmed.

How Osteo Cool Addresses Bone Metastasis

Navigating the Osteo Cool Treatment Process

• Consultation: A comprehensive review of your medical history, imaging, and symptoms to determine candidacy for OsteoCool.
• Procedure: The OsteoCool procedure is typically done under local anesthesia with light sedation, ensuring patient comfort. Using imaging guidance, the specialized probe is introduced into the metastatic lesion.
• Recovery: Post-procedure, patients may experience mild discomfort at the treatment site, which usually subsides within a few days. Most patients report a significant reduction in pain and enhanced mobility shortly after the procedure.
• Follow-Up: Regular monitoring and follow-ups at Apex Neurosurgery and Spine will be scheduled to ensure optimal recovery and pain management.
