Spine Surgery
Endoscopic imaging has also been playing an important role in spine surgery for many years, because high-resolution intraoperative imaging facilitates minimalized access ports to the operating site.

Richard Wolf PERCULINE joint
Spine SurgeryTakes the pain
The PERCULINE joint system is a universal instrument system for percutaneous denervation of the facet and sacroiliac joints using 4 MHz radiofrequency energy in interventional therapeutic pain procedures in the lumbar spine.
The instrument set is used to create percutaneous access ports to the facet and sacroiliac joints, for preparation and dissection of tissue using manual instruments, and for coagulation, tissue reduction, and ablation by means of radiofrequency energy.
The Radioblator RF4 radiofrequency generator with a working frequency of 4 MHz is the centerpiece of this effective tissue-preserving coagulation system.This, combined with the actively articulating TipControl RF Electrode, provides for precise positioning of the radiofrequency energy in the tissue.
Focused energy input with less heat penetration to the surrounding tissue, tissue cooling by continuous flow irrigation and reusable access instruments makes the PERCULINE system an efficient and economical interventional pain solution.

Richard Wolf PERCULINE nucleo
Spine SurgeryTakes the pain
PERCULINE nucleo is the universal instrument set for percutaneous nucleoplasty utilizing 4 MHz radiofrequency energy application in therapeutic pain interventions in the lumbar spine.
The primary therapeutic goal of nucleoplasty is decompression of nerve structures through volume reduction of the vertebral disk by means of radiofrequency ablation and mechanical removal of nuclear material with rongeurs.
The reusable instrument set is used to create a percutaneous access port to the vertebral disk, for preparation and removal of tissue using manual instruments, and for coagulation, tissue reduction, and ablation by means of radiofrequency energy.

Richard Wolf VERTEBRIS denervation
Spine SurgeryTakes the pain
The VERTEBRIS denervation system for endoscopically controlled facet and sacroiliac joint denervation offers a holistic and impressive system solution in combination with the 4Mhz Radioblator RF generator.
This system improves the success of treatment with visually controlled and precisely focused application of instrumentation and RF energy. The medial and, optionally, lateral branch of the dorsal ramus can be visualized using endoscopically controlled denervation, safely resected and coagulated.

Richard Wolf VERTEBRIS lumbar
Spine SurgeryThe VERTEBRIS lumbar instrument set is designed for full-endoscopic decompression of the lumbar and thoracic spine. Typical indications include herniated discs, spinal cysts and spinal canal stenoses. The following approaches can be done full-endoscopically:
- Transforaminal
- Extraforaminal
- Interlaminar
The excellent optical properties of VERTEBRIS diskoscopes are the basis for intraoperative visualization and guide special instruments into the intraoperative area.
The universal setting of the instruments also makes it possible to expand the indications by gradually adding new components.

Richard Wolf VERTEBRIS stenosis
Spine SurgeryRichard Wolf, working together with pioneering spine surgeons, was the first company to develop a standardized approach to full-endoscopic decompression of lumbar spinal canal stenosis. The Central Stenosis instrument set represents a true milestone of innovation and advancement in spine endoscopy.
A larger telescope with a correspondingly larger intra-endoscope working channel and larger, stronger instruments were necessary for the more extensive bone and ligament resection necessitated in this operation. The VERTEBRIS stenosis Instrument Set is complemented by the universal motor system and a variety of rigid and articulated burrs.
