Description
The PMP-18-100C-SU is an Avanos Radiofrequency (RF) Probe*. This is a single-use electrode designed specifically for use with curved cannulas in radiofrequency ablation procedures.
The model number indicates an 18-gauge diameter and a 100 mm length, with the "C" designating its compatibility with curved cannula shafts.
Key Features
Single-Use (SU): This probe is intended for one-time use, eliminating the need for sterilization between cases and ensuring that the sensitive internal thermocouple is at peak performance for every patient.
Curved Cannula Compatibility: Unlike straight probes, this model is built from a super-elastic Nitinol alloy that allows it to follow the curvature of the cannula without permanently deforming. This ensures the tip reaches the exact end of the cannula for accurate temperature monitoring.
Precision Temperature Feedback: Features an integrated thermocouple that provides real-time temperature data to the RF generator, allowing the clinician to maintain the precise heat required for effective nerve ablation.
Durable Nitinol Construction: The use of Nitinol provides the probe with excellent flexibility and durability, preventing kinks as it navigates through the curved shaft.
Color-Coded Hub: Features a color-coded hub (typically black with a pink stylet or unique marking) for immediate identification of the 18-gauge size in a clinical setting.
