Description
The Avanos PMP-20-100 is a professional-grade Radiofrequency (RF) Probe used in chronic pain management. It is designed to deliver thermal energy to specific nerves to create a lesion, effectively disrupting pain signals for long-term relief.
The hub of this probe is color-coded yellow, signifying its 20-gauge compatibility.
Technical Specifications
Material: Available in Stainless Steel or Nitinol (super-elastic alloy).
Length: 100 mm (approximately 4 inches).
Gauge: 20G (identified by the Yellow color-coded hub).
Tip Style: Straight (optimized for direct, linear approaches).
Sterility: Non-Sterile (Reusable; must be steam-sterilized/autoclaved before use).
Note: If the part number ends in -SU, it is the sterile, Single-Use/Disposable version.
Compatibility: Fully compatible with Avanos, Halyard, and Kimberly-Clark RF Pain Management Generators.
Key Features
Direct Path Precision: The straight tip is designed for procedures where a direct, linear path to the nerve is available. It is often the preferred choice when "steering" around complex bony structures is not necessary.
Standardized Sizing: The 100 mm length is the clinical standard for reaching target nerves at common anatomical depths, such as the lumbar medial branches.
Integrated Temperature Sensing: Features an internal thermocouple that provides the RF generator with real-time temperature feedback at the active tip, ensuring the lesion is created safely and effectively.
Durability: Engineered to maintain high electrical conductivity and physical integrity through repeated autoclave sterilization cycles.
Primary Uses
This 100 mm straight probe is a foundational tool for Conventional RF Neurotomy, frequently used for:
Lumbar Medial Branch Ablation: To treat chronic facet-joint pain in the lower back.
Thoracic Medial Branch Ablation: Targeting nerves in the mid-back where a straight approach is appropriate.
Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Procedures: For denervating the lateral branches in patients with SI joint dysfunction.
Stellate Ganglion or Sympathetic Blocks: Where precise thermal lesioning of a nerve ganglion is required.
