MDR CE Certified SEEG RF Lesion Generator for RF Thermocoagulation
Product Overview
The Golead SEEG RF Lesion Generator is a professional RF energy platform designed for compatible stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG)-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RF-TC) systems.
SEEG-guided RF thermocoagulation uses implanted depth electrodes to deliver controlled RF energy between selected electrode contacts. Published technical literature describes RF-TC as a procedure performed through SEEG electrodes, with impedance changes used as an important indicator during thermocoagulation.
What Is SEEG RF Thermocoagulation?
Combining SEEG Mapping with RF Lesioning
Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) is an invasive method used to record electrical activity from implanted intracranial depth electrodes. In selected cases, the same implanted electrodes can subsequently be used to deliver RF energy for thermocoagulation.
Workflow Process:
SEEG Recording → Identify Relevant Electrode Contacts → Select RF-TC Contacts → Connect Compatible RF Generator → RF Thermocoagulation → Post-Procedure Assessment
Published reviews describe SEEG-guided RF-TC as a technique in which RF lesions are created through the implanted SEEG depth electrode, avoiding the need for a separate lesioning electrode insertion.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a SEEG RF lesion generator?
A SEEG RF lesion generator is an RF energy system designed for use in compatible SEEG-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation procedures.
What does SEEG RF thermocoagulation mean?
SEEG-guided RF thermocoagulation uses implanted stereoelectroencephalography electrodes to deliver RF energy between selected electrode contacts to create a localized thermal lesion.
Can SEEG electrodes be used for RF thermocoagulation?
Only SEEG electrodes specifically designed, validated or authorized for the intended RF-TC application should be used. Compatibility must be confirmed before the procedure.
Is SEEG RF-TC bipolar?
Many published SEEG RF-TC protocols use bipolar RF between selected electrode contacts, although monopolar approaches have also been described.
Why is impedance monitoring important?
Changes in impedance during RF-TC can provide information about the progression of thermocoagulation. Published technical guidance describes a sudden impedance change as an indicator associated with completion of thermocoagulation.
