Description
Actually, there is a small distinction to make here. While the PMP prefix is used in the ON-Q* line to designate a "Patient-Managed Pump" (one with a bolus button), PMP-145-N specifically refers to a Nitinol Radiofrequency (RF) Probe used in chronic pain management procedures, rather than an elastomeric infusion pump.
The "-N" in this context stands for Nitinol, the flexible nickel-titanium alloy the probe is made from.
Key Features
Nitinol Construction: Made from a "shape memory" alloy that is highly flexible and resistant to kinking. This allows the probe to be guided through curved cannulae and return to its original shape.
Reusable Design: Unlike single-use probes, the PMP-145-N is designed to be cleaned and steam-sterilized (autoclaved) for multiple procedures.
Precision Targeting: Used in conjunction with an RF generator to deliver high-frequency current to specific peripheral nerves, creating a lesion that interrupts pain signals.
Straight Tip: This specific model is a straight probe (as opposed to the PMP-145C-N, which has a curved tip) for direct-pathway nerve access.
Color-Coded Connectors: Typically features a color-coded hub or connector to help the clinician quickly identify the probe's gauge and compatibility with the generator.
Technical Specifications
Model Number: PMP-145-N.
Type: Reusable Conventional RF Probe.
Material: Nitinol (Nickel-Titanium).
Length: 145 mm.
Tip Geometry: Straight.
Compatibility: Designed for use with Avanos (formerly Halyard/Kimberly-Clark) Pain Management RF Generators.
Sterilization: Provided non-sterile; must be sterilized prior to use.
Primary Uses
Chronic Pain Management: Used in procedures like facet denervation, medial branch blocks, or sacroiliac joint treatments.
Nerve Ablation: Specifically used to thermally ablate nerves that are transmitting chronic pain signals to the brain.
Fluoroscopic Procedures: The probe is visible under X-ray, allowing the physician to verify exact placement near the target nerve before activating the RF energy.
