Key Features
Curved Tip Advantage: The curved distal tip provides the clinician with better steering and maneuverability. This is especially helpful when navigating around complex bony structures like the facet joints in the spine.
Single-Use Safety: Unlike reusable RF probes that require steam sterilization between patients, the "SU" (Single-Use) model is discarded after one procedure. This reduces the risk of cross-contamination and eliminates the need for hospital reprocessing.
Nitinol Construction: The probe is made of Nitinol, a "shape-memory" alloy. This ensures that the probe remains durable and retains its curve even when being inserted through narrow cannulae.
Compatibility: This probe is designed to be used with the Avanos Pain Management RF Generator (such as the PMG-115). It must be inserted into a matching 22G x 100mm RF cannula (needle) to reach the target nerve.
