Tip Shape: Curved Sharp (CS)
Hub Color: Black (Standard color coding for 22 gauge)

Key Features
Precision Placement: The 22-gauge diameter is thinner and more flexible than a 20-gauge, allowing for more delicate steering when navigating complex anatomy, particularly in the cervical spine.
Radiopaque Marker: Features a platinum marker at the tip that is highly visible under fluoroscopy. This allows the physician to see exactly where the 5 mm lesion will be created relative to the bony landmarks.
Curved Tip for Steering: The "Curved" aspect (C) allows the physician to rotate the hub to "steer" the needle around bone, while the "Sharp" (S) tip ensures easy skin and tissue penetration.
Focused Lesion: The 5 mm active tip is designed for targeted denervation, providing a smaller, more specific heat zone than a 10 mm tip.
