Diros Technology Inc.

Diros Technology Inc. is a manufacturer of electromedical
equipment since 1983, and was formed as a continuation of the
radio frequency generator line of OWL Instruments, Ltd.

Diros Technology manufactures the OWL line of radio-frequency
lesion generators, needle kits and accessories which are used by
neurosurgeons and orthopaedic surgeons in the Operating Room.
Specifically, these lesion generators produce a coagulating
radio-frequency current for destroying nerve tissue and are used
to selectively obliterate pain carrying nerve fibers. The
technique is typically used for treating neuralgia (a form of
chronic facial pain) and severe lower back and leg pain, as well
as in certain brain operations.

The OWL RF Generators and specifically the Model URF-1 (Universal
Radio Frequency System), has established a reputation for
reliability and ease of use in neurological centres throughout
the world. It can be used for all presently performed RF
procedures including percutaneous cordotomy, trigeminal
ganglionectomy, facet rhizotomy, thalamotomy, hypophysectomy and
D.R.E.Z. In addition, Diros Technology supplies a full range of
needle/electrode kits which can be used with the OWL RF
Generators to perform the various RF procedures. Over 25
countries around the world have used the OWL RF Generators
including England, Germany, France, India, Spain, Brazil, Korea,
the United States and Canada, etc. The OWL RF products began
selling in 1970 and now have an enviable record of reliability
for nearly three decades.

Although OWL was not first out with a radio frequency lesion
generator, they do hold the position of being the first out with
an all solid state product, and first to incorporate the three
essential functions used in many procedures-impedance
measurement, stimulator, and RF lesion generator--in one
instrument and therefore the name Universal RF Generator. We have
been copied by the competition even to the extent of the colour
scheme, but many impartial users feel ours is simpler to use and
is functionally superior.

At present all products are CSA certified. In the very near
future the OWL RF products will have the CE Mark which will be
necessary to sell the products in the European Union of
countries. In addition, Diros Technology is presently in the
process of implementing procedures necessary for gaining ISO 9000
Quality System accreditation.
