## Indications for use
The Top Neuropole Needles are injection needles used either for percutaneous nerve blocks with local anesthetic solution or for radiofrequency lesioning. A nerve is localized either by using electrostimulation through the needle or by injecting contrast medium through the needle and using radiography concomitantly. The nerve may then be blocked by injecting local anesthetic solution or a radiofrequency lesion may be made.
