Description
The PMP-200C-N is the product code for an Avanos Nitinol RF Probe (Curved).
This is a reusable radiofrequency (RF) probe used in the Avanos Pain Management System. Unlike standard stainless steel probes, this model is made from Nitinol, a "shape-memory" alloy that offers superior flexibility and durability, making it ideal for navigating complex anatomical paths.
Technical Specifications
Model Number: PMP-200C-N
Probe Length: 200 mm
Tip Shape: Curved (indicated by the "C")
Material: Nitinol Alloy (indicated by the "N")
Gauge: Compatible with various cannulae (typically used with 20G or 22G introducers)
Sterility: Non-Sterile (This is a reusable device that must be steam-sterilized/autoclaved before use).
Compatibility: Fully backward-compatible with all Avanos/Halyard/Kimberly-Clark/Baylis RF Generator models (e.g., PMG-115, CRG-BASIC).
Key Features
Super-Elastic Nitinol: The Nitinol construction allows the probe to bend and flex through curved introducer needles without kinking or taking a permanent "set." This ensures the probe returns to its original shape after use.
Durability: Designed for repeated use, these probes are built to withstand multiple sterilization cycles, making them a cost-effective alternative to single-use (disposable) probes in high-volume clinics.
Precision Placement: The 200 mm length is specifically used for procedures requiring deep access, such as certain lumbar or thoracic sympathectomies and splanchnic nerve blocks.
Thermocouple Technology: Contains an internal temperature sensor that provides real-time feedback to the generator to ensure the lesion is formed at the precise therapeutic temperature (typically 80°C).
