Description
The PMP-18-200-SU is the product code for the Avanos Conventional Radiofrequency (RF) Probe in an 18 Gauge diameter and 200 mm length.
This is a specialized, extra-long probe used in radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to treat chronic pain by delivering thermal energy to specific nerves. The 200 mm (20 cm) length is the longest standard size in the Avanos RF portfolio, designed specifically for deep-tissue access and bariatric patients.

Key Features
Maximum Reach: At 200 mm, this probe provides the necessary depth to reach target nerves in bariatric patients or for deep anatomical procedures where standard 100 mm or 145 mm probes cannot reach.
Rigidity and Durability: The 18-gauge diameter is the thickest standard size for these probes. This thickness is critical for a 20 cm probe to ensure it remains straight and does not deflect or bend while being guided through deep muscle and tissue.
Nitinol Construction: Made from a nickel-titanium "shape-memory" alloy, the probe is highly resistant to kinking and is flexible enough to be manipulated within a cannula while maintaining its original straight shape.
Disposable Design: Being a single-use ("SU") device, it is provided pre-sterilized. This eliminates hospital costs related to manual cleaning and autoclaving while ensuring the highest level of infection control for the patient.
