Description

The Avanos PMF22-100-10 is a Straight Radiopaque Radiofrequency (RF) Cannula designed for interventional pain management. This model is characterized by its very thin profile, making it one of the less invasive options for delivering thermal energy to 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 22G diameter is significantly thinner than the 18G or 20G options. This reduced diameter is intended to minimize patient discomfort during insertion and decrease the risk of post-procedural soreness.

  • Large Active Tip: Despite its thin gauge, it features a 10 mm active tip. This allows for the creation of a relatively large thermal lesion, providing a broader "capture zone" to ensure the target nerve is successfully encompassed by the heat.

  • Radiopaque Platinum Marker: Features a high-contrast platinum band at the distal end of the active tip. This provides superior visualization under fluoroscopy, allowing the clinician to precisely confirm the depth and position of the uninsulated tip before lesioning.

  • Medical-Grade Insulation: The shaft is fully insulated except for the 10 mm tip. This focuses the RF energy strictly on the intended nerve target while protecting the skin and non-target tissues along the needle path.

  • Sure-Grip Hub: Includes a color-coded hub (Black for 22G) with a textured surface for stable handling and quick gauge identification in the procedure room.

Technical Specifications

  • Model Number: PMF22-100-10

  • Cannula Gauge: 22 G

  • Cannula Length: 100 mm (10 cm)

  • Active Tip Length: 10 mm

  • Tip Shape: Straight

  • Sterility: Sterile, Single-Use

  • Color Code: Black (22 Gauge)

Primary Uses

  • Lumbar Medial Branch Neurotomy: A common choice for treating chronic facet joint pain in patients who are sensitive to needle size or when a more precise, thinner approach is preferred.

  • Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Ablation: The 10 mm tip is well-suited for targeting the lateral branch nerves of the sacrum, where a larger lesion area is often required for effective pain relief.

  • Thoracic Facet Denervation: Used in the mid-back where the 100 mm length provides adequate reach and the 22G profile offers a less invasive entry.

  • Diagnostic Stimulation: Used to confirm proximity to the target nerve via sensory and motor testing before proceeding with thermal ablation.
