Description
The Avanos PMF20-145-10 is a Straight Radiopaque Radiofrequency (RF) Cannula designed for interventional pain management. This model is engineered for "long-reach" procedures, providing the necessary length to reach deep nerve targets while maintaining a slim profile.
The model number specifies its dimensions: 20 Gauge thickness, 145 mm length, and a 10 mm active (uninsulated) tip.
Key Features
Extended Reach: At 145 mm (14.5 cm) in length, this cannula is specialized for reaching deep anatomical structures or for use in patients with a larger body habitus where standard 100 mm cannulae are too short.
Large Active Tip: The 10 mm active tip allows for the creation of a larger thermal lesion. This broad "capture zone" increases the likelihood of successfully ablating the target nerve, especially in areas with anatomical variability.
Integrated Radiopaque Marker: Features a high-contrast platinum band at the distal end of the active tip. This provides superior visibility under fluoroscopy (X-ray), allowing the clinician to confirm the exact placement and span of the intended lesion.
Insulated Shaft: The medical-grade insulation ensures that RF energy is strictly confined to the 10 mm exposed tip, protecting the skin and non-target tissues along the path of the cannula.
Color-Coded Hub: Features a Yellow hub (standard for 20G) for instant gauge identification and a "Sure-Grip" texture for stable handling during deep tissue insertion.

Primary Uses
Deep Lumbar Facet Denervation: Used to treat chronic lower back pain by ablating the medial branch nerves when they are located deep within the soft tissue.
Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Ablation: The 10 mm tip is often utilized in SI joint neurotomy to cover the broader lateral branch nerve paths.
Splanchnic Nerve Blocks: Employed for deeper sympathetic nerve targets in the thoracic or abdominal regions where precision and length are required.
Diagnostic Stimulation: Used to perform sensory and motor testing to ensure the cannula is safely and accurately positioned before the permanent thermal lesion is created.
