Description
The PMF16-145-10CS is an Avanos Radiopaque Radiofrequency (RF) Cannula*. This specialized needle is used in Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) procedures to treat chronic pain. It is one of the longer cannulas in the product line, designed to reach deeper anatomical targets.
The model number indicates: 16-gauge diameter, 145 mm length, and a 10 mm active tip.
Key Features
Radiopaque Platinum Marker: Features a platinum band at the distal end of the active tip. This provides high-contrast visualization under fluoroscopy (X-ray), ensuring the physician can verify the exact position of the tip relative to the target nerve.
Extended 145 mm Length: This length is specifically designed for procedures where the target nerve is deep, often used for larger patients or specific anatomical approaches in the lumbar or pelvic regions.
Curved Sharp Tip: The curved tip allows for "steering" through tissue and better alignment with the curvature of bones or around obstacles to reach the intended nerve site.
10 mm Active Tip: The uninsulated portion of the cannula where the RF energy is emitted to create the thermal lesion.
Sure-Grip Hub: An ergonomic, color-coded hub (typically gray for 16 G) that allows for steady manipulation and easy identification during the procedure.
Disposable: Sterile and single-use, ensuring the needle remains sharp for precise penetration and reduces infection risk.
