What is Nucleoplasty®?
Nucleoplasty is a procedure name used to describe a disc
decompression procedure performed using Coblation® technology to
remove tissue in the nucleus pulposus of the disc. Nucleoplasty
utilizes a minimally invasive approach to remove disc material
and decompress the disc. This is accomplished via a
multifunctional bipolar radio frequency device that utilizes
Coblation technology to ablate, or remove tissue. Because tissue
removal is achieved at temperatures of approximately 40-70ºC,
thermal damage to surrounding tissue is minimized. Coblation
technology has been used in over 4.5 million procedures to dat
