Description
The Avanos PMP-18-100 is a Standard Radiofrequency (RF) Probe. It is a reusable, steam-sterilizable device used to deliver thermal or pulsed radiofrequency energy to a target nerve through an RF cannula.
The model number specifies its design: 18 Gauge thickness and 100 mm length with a Straight tip.
Key Features
Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel or super-elastic Nitinol alloy (depending on the specific version, e.g., PMP-100-N). This ensures the probe is resilient enough for repeated sterilization and flexible enough to pass through curved cannulae without permanent deformation.
Reusable & Cost-Effective: Unlike the single-use "SU" versions (e.g., PMP-18-100-SU), the standard PMP-18-100 is designed to be autoclaved and reused multiple times, making it a sustainable choice for high-volume pain management clinics.
Color-Coded Stylet/Hub: Features a color-coded indicator (typically Pink for 18G) to allow clinicians to quickly match the probe gauge with the corresponding 18-gauge cannula during a procedure.
Internal Thermocouple: Contains an integrated temperature sensor at the distal tip. This provides real-time feedback to the RF generator, allowing for precise control of the lesion temperature (typically maintained at 80°C for thermal ablation).
Compatibility: Fully compatible with Avanos (formerly Halyard/Kimberly-Clark/Baylis) RF generators and standard 100 mm RF cannulae.
Technical Specifications
Model Number: PMP-18-100
Probe Gauge: 18 G
Probe Length: 100 mm (10 cm)
Tip Shape: Straight
Sterility: Non-Sterile (Requires sterilization before first use and between patients)
Material: Stainless Steel or Nitinol Alloy
Primary Uses
Lumbar Medial Branch Neurotomy: The 18G/100mm configuration is frequently used for treating chronic lower back pain. The thicker 18G probe and cannula provide greater stability when navigating through the dense musculature of the lumbar region.
Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Ablation: Provides the necessary reach and energy delivery for denervating the lateral branches of the sacral nerves.
Thermal Lesioning: Used specifically to create a controlled heat lesion that interrupts the transmission of pain signals from the facet joints to the brain.
