Description
The Avanos PMP-20-145C is an extended-length Nitinol Radiofrequency (RF) Probe used in chronic pain management. It is designed to deliver thermal energy to nerves for ablation (neurotomy) in deep anatomical regions.
The hub of this probe is color-coded yellow, indicating its 20-gauge compatibility.
Technical Specifications
Material: Nitinol (Nickel-Titanium "shape memory" alloy).
Length: 145 mm (approximately 5.7 inches).
Gauge: 20G (identified by the Yellow color-coded hub).
Tip Style: Curved (ideal for navigating complex anatomy and "hugging" bony landmarks).
Sterility: Non-Sterile (Reusable; must be steam-sterilized/autoclaved before each use).
Note: If the part number ends in -SU, it is the sterile, Single-Use/Disposable version.
Compatibility: Fully backward-compatible with Avanos, Halyard, and Kimberly-Clark RF Pain Management Generators.
Key Features
Extended Reach: The 145 mm length is significantly longer than the standard 100 mm probe, making it essential for reaching deep-seated nerves or for use in patients with a larger body habitus.
Super-Elastic Nitinol: The Nitinol construction allows the probe to be highly flexible and resistant to kinking. It can bend while passing through a cannula and reliably return to its specific curved profile once deployed at the target site.
Precision Steering: The curved tip provides the clinician with the ability to "steer" the probe around anatomical obstructions, ensuring the active tip is placed exactly against the target nerve.
Color-Coded Identification: The yellow hub allows for quick and accurate matching with 20-gauge RF cannulae, reducing the risk of equipment mismatch during a procedure.
Primary Uses
This 145 mm curved probe is a specialized tool for Deep-Tissue RF Neurotomy, frequently used for:
Deep Lumbar Medial Branch Ablation: For patients where standard 100 mm probes cannot reach the target facet joint nerves.
Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Denervation: Navigating the complex and deep-seated nerves of the sacrum.
Splanchnic or Celiac Plexus Blocks: Targeting deep sympathetic nerves for chronic abdominal pain.
Deep Peripheral Nerve Ablation: Any procedure requiring the durability of Nitinol with a nearly 6-inch reach.
