Together, the MultiGen® 2 RF Generator and the Venom cannula and electrode system deliver large lesions in a short amount of time. Our Performance Platform offers a lot for you and your patients.
Radiofrequency nerve ablation (RFNA) is a minimally invasive procedure that may provide lasting pain relief to those suffering from chronic pain in the neck1-2, back3-4, and knee5-7.
Using the Venom cannula and electrode system, RFNA procedures can be performed on these areas.
The MultiGen® 2 radiofrequency (RF) generator, in combination with the Venom cannula and electrode system, can be used for the following procedures:
Cervical RFNA
In the cervical spine, large lesion technology aids in targeting sensory nerves, which have high variability in this region.
Thoracic RFNA
In the thoracic spine, there is high variability in the location of medial branch nerves.
Lumbar RFNA
The lumbar spine's medial branch nerves have a large area to lay across the vertebrae, which can make it difficult to fully ablate the target nerve.
Sacroiliac RFNA
Having a high variability in direction and location, nerves in the sacrum lie proximal and distal to the foramen, as well as anterior and posterior.
Genicular RFNA
Genicular nerves vary in location along the femur and the tibia. The Venom cannula and electrode system accounts for this variability by creating a large lesion, expanding the width of the lesion without increasing the distance.
The MultiGen® 2 radiofrequency (RF) generator, in combination with the Venom cannula and electrode system, can be also used for RFNA procedures in the following regions:
- Occipital nerve
- Trigeminal nerve
- Suprascapular nerve
- Femoral and obturator nerves

Standard cannulae and electrodes
The MultiGen® 2 Radiofrequency Generator heats a variety of cannulae and electrodes. Intelligently recognizing the electrode chosen, the MultiGen® 2 RF Generator heats accordingly and automatically differentiates whether or not the procedure is monopolar.
Monopolar cannulae:
- Maneuver and glide easily
- Match electrodes via color-coding
- Offered straight or curved in a variety of lengths and gauges
- Lengths: 50 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm and 200 mm
- Gauges: 18, 20, and 22
- Active tips from 5 mm to 15 mm
Monopolar nitinol electrodes:
- Available in color-coded lengths: 50 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm,
and 200 mm
Venom cannula and electrode system
The intersection of efficiency and outcomes
The Venom cannula and electrode system provides efficiency, confidence and large lesions while maintaining a small footprint.*
Venom multiple configuration
The innovative design offers an alternative configuration with a "V" shaped active tip at the distal end, while it maintains the same gauge size as the standard Stryker configuration. The Venom cannula and electrode system allows for efficient anesthesia delivery to the targeted nerve through the side port design.8

Work with efficiency
Multiple deployment configurations are able to improve lesion control. Your time and schedule matter. The Venom cannula and electrode system is designed to enhance both.
