Description
The Avanos PMF22-100-10CS is a Radiopaque Curved Sharp Radiofrequency (RF) Cannula. This precision instrument is designed for interventional pain management, combining a thin-gauge profile with a steerable tip for accurate placement against target nerves.
The model number specifies its dimensions: 22 Gauge thickness, 100 mm length, and a 10 mm active (uninsulated) tip.
Key Features
Ultra-Thin 22-Gauge Profile: The narrow diameter of the 22G cannula is designed to reduce patient discomfort and minimize tissue trauma during insertion compared to thicker 18G or 20G models.
Curved Sharp Design: The sharp, beveled tip facilitates smooth entry through fascia and ligaments. The curved shaft allows the clinician to navigate around bony structures to achieve optimal parallel placement along the path of the target nerve.
Integrated Radiopaque Marker: Features a high-contrast platinum band at the distal end of the active tip. This ensures precise visualization under fluoroscopy, allowing for clear identification of the uninsulated tip's exact location before starting the ablation.
Large Active Tip: Despite the thin gauge, it maintains a 10 mm active tip. This creates a broad thermal lesion, providing a larger "capture zone" to ensure the target nerve is successfully denervated even if there is slight anatomical variation.
Medical-Grade Insulation: The entire shaft is insulated except for the 10 mm tip, ensuring the radiofrequency energy is targeted only at the intended site and protecting non-target tissues.
Color-Coded Hub: Features a Black hub (standard for 22G) for instant identification, with a textured "Sure-Grip" surface for stable handling and rotation during placement.

Primary Uses
Lumbar Medial Branch Neurotomy: Commonly used to treat chronic lower back pain by ablating the nerves of the facet joints in patients who prefer a smaller needle size.
Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Ablation: The 10 mm tip is effective for covering the lateral branch nerve paths of the sacrum.
Thoracic Facet Denervation: Used for upper and middle back pain, where the curved tip helps navigate the unique angles of the thoracic spine while maintaining a slim profile.
