For Pain Management Specialists

Technology Overview

When treating musculoskeletal structures, Alpha Orthopaedics' AT2™ technology offers physicians a new tool to perform otherwise invasive procedures in a non-invasive manner. Our products are based on our reverse thermal gradient technology, which uses monopolar capacitive-coupled Radiofrequency (mcRF) energy.

Monopolar capacitive-coupled Radiofrequency (mcRF) is a unique technology that offers the benefits of RF technologies in a totally non-invasive fashion.  mcRF creates a deep penetrating volumetric electric field that resembles the mechanism of action of pulsed RF (pRF) and is capable of volumetric heating with temperatures that could reach above those generated by pRF and below those achieved with continuous RF (cRF). 

mcRF is capable of combining neuromodulation (traditionally offered by pRF) and neurolysis (traditionally offered by cRF). At high energy outputs, the system is capable of non-invasive electrocoagulation. mcRF delivers high currents to deep tissues in a totally non-invasive fashion in contradistinction with current invasive alternatives that require anesthesia or intravenous sedation and the use of fluoroscopy exposing patients and medical personnel to significant risks.
