Description
The Avanos PMF20-145-5 is a Straight Radiopaque Radiofrequency (RF) Cannula designed for interventional pain management. This model is engineered for deep anatomical access where a smaller, more focused thermal lesion is required.
The model number specifies its dimensions: 20 Gauge thickness, 145 mm length, and a 5 mm active (uninsulated) tip.
Key Features
Extended Reach (145 mm): This long-reach cannula is specialized for patients with a larger body habitus or for reaching deep nerve structures that standard 100 mm cannulae cannot access.
Targeted Active Tip: The 5 mm active tip creates a more focused thermal lesion than the larger 10 mm versions. This is ideal for precision ablation in areas where target nerves are small or located near sensitive non-target structures.
Integrated Radiopaque Marker: Features a high-contrast platinum band at the distal end of the active tip. This provides clear visualization under fluoroscopy, allowing the clinician to precisely confirm the lesion's intended location before starting the procedure.
Full Shaft Insulation: Medical-grade insulation covers the entire shaft except for the 5 mm tip, ensuring that the radiofrequency energy is strictly localized and protecting the surrounding healthy tissue.
Sure-Grip Hub: Includes a color-coded hub (Yellow for 20G) for instant identification. The hub is textured to provide a secure grip and stable control during deep tissue insertion.

Primary Uses
Deep Lumbar Facet Denervation: Used to treat chronic lower back pain by targeting the medial branch nerves at depths requiring a 14.5 cm reach.
Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Ablation: Employed when a more localized lesion is preferred over a broader 10 mm ablation for specific sacral nerve branches.
Sympathetic Nerve Blocks: Useful for reaching deep-seated sympathetic ganglia in the thoracic or lumbar regions.
Precision Nerve Ablation: Ideal for any RF procedure where the clinician requires the length of a 145 mm cannula but wants the pinpoint accuracy of a 5 mm active tip.
