Description
The Avanos PMK-21-100 (also categorized under the PMP-21-100 series) is a Nitinol Radiofrequency (RF) Probe. It is a reusable medical instrument designed for delivering radiofrequency energy to targeted nerves during chronic pain management procedures.
The hub of this probe is color-coded green, specifically to signify its 21-gauge compatibility.
Technical Specifications
Material: Nitinol (Nickel-Titanium "shape memory" alloy).
Length: 100 mm (approximately 4 inches).
Gauge: 21G (identified by the Green color-coding).
Tip Style: Straight.
Sterility: Non-Sterile (Reusable; must be steam-sterilized/autoclaved before each use).
Compatibility: Works with all Avanos, Halyard, and Kimberly-Clark RF Pain Management Generators.
Key Features
Nitinol Durability: The use of super-elastic Nitinol alloy makes the probe virtually kink-proof. It can flex significantly during insertion into a cannula and will reliably return to its straight shape, offering a longer life cycle than stainless steel alternatives.
Gauge-Specific Fit: The 21G diameter is specifically engineered to fit within 21-gauge RF cannulae (needles). The green color-coding on the hub allows the clinical team to quickly match the probe to the correct cannula size at a glance.
Cost-Effectiveness: Designed to withstand repeated autoclave cycles, this probe provides a sustainable solution for facilities with a high volume of RF procedures.
Predictable Lesioning: The straight-tip configuration is ideal for direct approaches where anatomical targets are accessible via a linear trajectory, providing consistent thermal energy delivery.
Primary Uses
This 100 mm, 21-gauge probe is commonly used for Conventional RF Neurotomy in areas with standard anatomical depth, such as:
Lumbar Medial Branch Ablation: For treating chronic low back pain originating from the facet joints.
Cervical Medial Branch Ablation: For patients where a 21G needle approach is preferred for neck pain or cervicogenic headaches.
Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Ablation: When a 100 mm reach is sufficient for the patient's anatomy.
