Why Canal 33?

What Differentiates Us

Safe

Relieving pain by administration of RF energy directly to the patient’s spinal nerves, without risking permanently damaging the nerves located in the treatment region.

Simple

Our technologies have been designed to keep pain specialists focused on delivering superior care and support to patients, and less time learning how to operate new tools and products.

Economical

Our technologies have been designed to keep our manufacturing costs low in order to get our products in the hands of more pain specialists.

Not Implanted

Many patients don’t want permanent and expensive implants. MRI’s, if ever medically required, cannot be performed due to the electronics of the device interacting with the magnetic field.

Product Spotlight

Betts 9V Radiofrequency Catheter

The best name in back pain treatment precision and accuracy.

No physical examination technique, lab test or imaging modality exists that can precisely identify the spinal structure causing pain. Traditional methods require any number of multiple injections, causing further discomfort and increased cost to the patient.

“Our 9V Betts Radiofrequency Catheter is our flagship product leading our rich platform of therapies that we can offer patients through Canal 33’s technology.”

Less Expensive than Traditional Methods

Traditional interventional techniques used to diagnose or treat back pain have increased from $141 million in 2003 to $307 million in 2006 with the total number of claims during that period having increased by 78%.

Better Treatment, No More Pain

Thanks to a powerful 9-volt catheter capable of sending any number of radio-frequency energies to the source of pain, physicians are now able to place catheters in the patient epidural space to stimulate the nerve and maximize accuracy in diagnosis of pain points. The result is one single injection as opposed to multiple ones.
