Description
The Avanos PMF20-60-10CS is a Radiopaque Curved Sharp Radiofrequency (RF) Cannula. This model is specifically designed for procedures requiring a shorter needle length, making it a primary choice for cervical spine interventions or patients with minimal soft tissue coverage.
The model number specifies its dimensions: 20 Gauge thickness, 60 mm length, and a 10 mm active (uninsulated) tip.
Key Features
Short-Length Precision: At 60 mm (6 cm) in length, this cannula provides superior control for superficial nerve targets where a standard 100 mm needle would be too long and cumbersome.
Curved Sharp Design: The sharp, beveled tip facilitates easier penetration through tough fascia and ligaments. The curved shaft allows the clinician to "steer" the needle around bony anatomy (such as the cervical vertebrae) to achieve optimal placement parallel to the target nerve.
Integrated Radiopaque Marker: Features a high-visibility platinum band at the distal end of the active tip. This provides high-contrast visualization under fluoroscopy, allowing for precise verification of the lesion location and span before energy is applied.
Large Active Tip: Despite the shorter shaft, it retains a 10 mm active tip. This creates a broader thermal lesion, providing a larger "capture zone" to ensure the target nerve is successfully denervated even with minor anatomical variations.
Insulated Shaft: Medical-grade insulation ensures that the radiofrequency energy is strictly localized to the 10 mm tip, protecting the skin and non-target tissues along the insertion path.
Sure-Grip Hub: Features a color-coded hub (Yellow for 20G) with a textured surface for stable handling and immediate identification of the gauge size in the procedure room.

Primary Uses
Cervical Medial Branch Neurotomy: The most common application, used for treating chronic neck pain originating from the cervical facet joints.
Stellate Ganglion Procedures: Used for sympathetic nerve blocks in the neck where a shorter needle offers better tactile feedback and safety.
Superficial Peripheral Nerve Ablation: Ideal for targeting accessible peripheral nerves that require a significant 10 mm lesion footprint.
