Description
The PMF22-54-10CS is a Radiopaque Curved Sharp Radiofrequency (RF) Cannula manufactured by Avanos Medical. It is a sterile, single-use component designed to create a precise pathway for an RF probe to reach targeted nervous tissue during thermal ablation procedures.
The "CS" designation identifies the Case packaging, while the alphanumeric code specifies its dimensions: a 22-gauge diameter, a 54 mm shaft, and a 10 mm active tip.
Key Features
Radiopaque Platinum Band: Equipped with a platinum marker at the distal end of the active tip. This provides high-contrast visualization under fluoroscopy, allowing the clinician to confirm the exact location of the intended lesion site.
Curved Tip Geometry: The distal curve allows the clinician to "steer" the cannula around bony landmarks or follow specific anatomical contours to reach target nerves more effectively than a straight needle.
Sure-Grip Hub: Features an ergonomic, color-coded hub (typically black for 22 G) for secure handling and rapid identification of the cannula size.
Localized Insulation: The stainless steel shaft is insulated with a medical-grade coating except for the 10 mm distal tip, ensuring thermal energy is focused strictly at the target tissue.
Sharp Bevel: Designed with a precision-ground sharp tip to facilitate smooth entry through the skin and subcutaneous tissues, particularly for shallow anatomical targets.
