A safety device for shielding a medical needle, includes a hand grip element; a cannula held at the hand grip element; a base with laterally protruding, flat wings, the base having a guide opening which is spaced apart from the underside and in which the cannula is guided; and a connecting structure which connects the handle element with the base and includes two elongated sections connected in a row with one another by at least one joint and the connecting structure is connected at one end by at least one joint with the hand grip element and, at the other end, by at least one joint with the base, the elongated section of the connecting structure, which is connected with the base has a wall element which protrudes transversely at its base end, and the connecting structure can be unfolded from a first state into a second extended state.

Safety device for a medical needle

A flexible catheter includes two electrical contacts in a distal region of the catheter and a distal aperture of a hose line. The electrical contacts are connected to a high frequency pulse generator for applying pulsed radio frequency energy for nerve stimulation. A temperature sensor is located in the distal region of the catheter. The flexible catheter is inserted into a region in the spinal canal and the pulsed radio frequency generator is operated, thereby applying pulsed radio frequency energy to a localized region to be treated. The temperature at the distal region of the catheter can also be monitored, and the pulsed radio frequency energy is applied in dependence on the monitored temperature. With the catheter, pain and other medical conditions being related to and influenced by a nervous system are treated.

Method for applying pulsed radio frequency energy to the spinal canal

An electrode system includes an implantable flexible electrode, especially an epidural electrode, having at least one distal electrical contact (). The electrode includes a subcutaneously implantable port (), a probe that can be introduced into the port () forms part of the electrode system with at least one probe contact (), and at least one electrical contact element () connected to the distal contact () is arranged in the port () in order to generate an electrical connection with the probe contact ().
