Description
The Avanos PMK-100-N is a Nitinol Radiofrequency (RF) Probe. Similar to the curved version, this is a high-performance, reusable medical device used in chronic pain management procedures to deliver radiofrequency energy to targeted nerves.
The primary difference is the tip shape: the PMK-100-N features a straight tip, which is used for direct, linear approaches to the target anatomy.
Technical Specifications
Material: Nitinol (Nickel-Titanium alloy).
Length: 100 mm (approximately 4 inches).
Tip Style: Straight.
Sterility: Non-Sterile (indicated by the "-N" suffix); must be steam-sterilized (autoclaved) before each use.
Usage: Reusable and highly durable.
Compatibility: Fully compatible with Avanos/Halyard/Kimberly-Clark RF Pain Management Generators.
Key Features
Super-Elastic Nitinol: The Nitinol construction allows the probe to be highly flexible and virtually kink-proof. Even after significant bending during insertion, the probe will reliably return to its straight shape once removed.
Straight Tip Accuracy: The straight configuration is ideal for procedures where the target is easily accessible via a direct line, providing a predictable and stable path through the cannula.
Cost-Effective Reusability: Designed to withstand repeated autoclave cycles, making it a sustainable choice for facilities with high procedural volumes.
Standardized Fit: Engineered to fit standard RF cannulae gauges (typically 18G to 22G) with a 100 mm working length.
Primary Uses
This 100 mm straight probe is a standard tool for Conventional RF Neurotomy, commonly used for:
Medial Branch Blocks: Targeting the nerves that supply the facet joints in the lumbar or cervical spine.
Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Ablation: When using a straight-line approach for lesioning.
Peripheral Nerve Ablation: For various chronic pain conditions where a straight-needle trajectory is clinically indicated.
