Description
The PMP-100C-N is the "gold standard" reusable probe in the Avanos Pain Management line. It is a Nitinol RF Probe with a Curved tip, specifically designed for the most common spinal procedures.
Technical Specifications
Model Number: PMP-100C-N
Length: 100 mm (10 cm)
Tip Shape: Curved
Allows for navigational steering around bony structures and precise parallel placement alongside the target nerve.
Material: Nitinol (Nickel-Titanium Alloy)
Super-elasticity: Can be bent to extreme angles and will return to its original shape.
Kink Resistance: Far more durable than stainless steel for use in curved cannulae.
Sterility: Non-Sterile
Reusable device; must be steam-sterilized (autoclaved) before each use.
Feedback: Integrated Thermocouple sensor for real-time temperature and impedance monitoring.
Compatibility: Works with all Avanos/Halyard/Kimberly-Clark/Baylis RF generators.
Key Features
Standardized Length: The 100 mm length is the industry standard for most lumbar spinal procedures, providing the ideal reach for the majority of adult patients.
Shape Memory: Unlike stainless steel probes which can take a "set" (permanent bend) over time, the Nitinol construction ensures the probe remains functional through hundreds of uses.
Precision Temperature Control: The internal thermocouple relays data to the generator multiple times per second, ensuring the lesion is maintained at exactly $80^{\circ}C$ (or the clinician's chosen set point).
Color-Coded Hub: Features a color-coded hub (typically matched to 21G or 22G cannulae) to prevent errors in equipment matching.
