Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been utilized since the 1970s to treat various painful conditions. The technology has evolved from its initial use to treat lumbar facet mediated pain with monopolar lesioning to now treat a plethora of chronic pain conditions. This article reviews Abbott Corporation's (IL, USA) IonicRF™ generator. The IonicRF generator utilizes an intelligent power algorithm that improves efficiency and reduces procedure time. The generator also carries a wide range of RFA therapies such as monopolar, bipolar, pulsed or pulsed dose radiofrequency. Additionally, the IonicRF RFA generator is compatible with the Simplicity™ RF probe (Abbott) which allows for efficient and effective denervation of the sacroiliac joint.
射频消融术（RFA）自 20 世纪 70 年代以来已被用于治疗各种疼痛病症。该技术历经发展，最初采用单极消融术治疗腰椎小关节介导性疼痛，如今已可治疗多种慢性疼痛病症。本文将对 Abbott 公司（美国伊利诺伊州）的 IonicRF™ 发生器进行综述。IonicRF 发生器采用智能功率算法，可提高效率并缩短手术时间。该发生器还提供多种射频消融治疗方式，包括单极、双极、脉冲或脉冲剂量射频。此外，IonicRF RFA 发生器与 Simplicity™ RF 探头（Abbott）兼容，后者可实现骶髂关节的有效去神经化。
