Description
The PMF18-200-10 is a specialized Radiopaque Radiofrequency (RF) Cannula manufactured by Avanos Medical. It is designed for use in interventional pain management procedures to provide a precise pathway for an RF probe to reach targeted nervous tissue.
Its alphanumeric code specifies its dimensions: an 18-gauge diameter, an extra-long 200 mm shaft, and a 10 mm active tip.
Key Features
Radiopaque Platinum Band: Features a platinum marker at the distal end of the active tip. This allows for superior visualization under fluoroscopy, enabling the clinician to identify the exact intended lesion site with high precision.
Sure-Grip Hub: Includes an ergonomically designed, color-coded hub for secure handling and rapid identification of the cannula’s gauge and specifications.
High-Grade Insulation: The stainless steel shaft is fully insulated except for the distal tip, ensuring that thermal energy is concentrated only at the 10 mm active zone.
Enhanced Reach: The 200 mm length is specifically utilized for deep anatomical targets or larger patients where standard 100 mm or 150 mm cannulas are insufficient.
Disposable Design: Provided sterile and intended for single use to ensure structural integrity and eliminate the risk of cross-contamination.
