Testimonials Dr. R. R. Tasker, MD, MA, FRCS (C) - Canada Radiofrequency Lesion-making is an essential tool for functional and stereotactic surgery. I have used OWL RF equipment for this purpose since its invention with great satisfaction, enjoying full support from the manufacturer (Diros Technology Inc.). Dr. L. W. Organ MD, BASc, PEng - Canada As the original developer of a number of Diros Technology Inc.’s OWL RF products, I am pleased to note that DTI continues to excel in providing RF pain management and neurosurgical solutions to the medical field Dr. U. Vengsarkar MD - India I have performed over 3000 RF techniques since 1980….because of your machine the techniques have become short, safe, and effective. My good word will always be there to support you. Dr. A. M. Lozano MD, PhD, FRCSC - Canada The OWL line of radiofrequency generators and electrodes have produced reliable therapeutic lesions. Dr. O. Villela MD - Brazil I have been using the OWL Radiofrequency Generator since I started my practice in 1992. To express my opinion in the simplest way, I would say that "IT IS JUST SOMETHING I HAVE NEVER REGRETTED!" Dr. M. Munir MD - USA I have used multiple radiofrequency machines and when I bought one for myself, I chose the Diros OWL URF-3AP because it not only allowed me to do regular RF lesioning but allows you to do pulse, IDTA, and even Bipolar. The features that I like the most are its ability to create lesions manually and also the ability to program its automatic lesion ramp time to generate slow rise in temperature and ability to control the lesion size accordingly. Its safety features makes it safe for novice and its ability to change the variables makes it perfect for advanced users. I am very happy with the service as well, and would not hesitate to buy the second one for my next clinic. Dr. I. Fox, MD, DABPM, FIPP, ABIPP - USA I have been using the OWL RF generator for 3 years with great success. The machine is of excellent quality and very user friendly - the nursing staff love its simplicity. The company support from Diros is readily available and extremely professional. We have had an excellent experience working with them.
