Description
The Avanos PMP-20-100C is a Nitinol Radiofrequency (RF) Probe used in pain management to deliver thermal energy to targeted nerves. This probe is part of the standard RF line and is characterized by its high durability and flexibility.
The hub of this probe is color-coded yellow, signifying its 20-gauge compatibility.
Technical Specifications
Material: Nitinol (Nickel-Titanium "shape memory" alloy).
Length: 100 mm (approximately 4 inches).
Gauge: 20G (identified by the Yellow color-coded hub).
Tip Style: Curved (designed for precise steering and anatomical "hugging").
Sterility: Non-Sterile (Reusable; must be steam-sterilized/autoclaved before each 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
Nitinol Super-Elasticity: Unlike stainless steel probes, Nitinol probes are highly resistant to kinking. They can flex significantly while navigating a cannula and will reliably return to their original curved shape once deployed.
Precision Steering: The curved tip allows the physician to maneuver the probe around bony obstructions to place the active tip exactly against the target nerve, such as the medial branch.
Gauge Matching: The 20G diameter is engineered for a precise fit inside 20-gauge RF cannulae. The yellow color-coding allows for instant visual verification to match the probe with the correct needle.
Cost-Effective Reusability: Built to withstand repeated autoclave cycles, this probe provides a lower cost-per-procedure for high-volume clinical settings compared to disposable options.
Primary Uses
This 100 mm curved probe is a standard choice for Conventional RF Neurotomy at common anatomical depths, including:
Lumbar Medial Branch Ablation: To treat chronic low back pain originating from the facet joints.
Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Denervation: Navigating the complex surface of the sacrum to target lateral branch nerves.
Cervical Procedures: In patients where a 20G needle is preferred over smaller 21G or 22G options for better visibility or a larger lesion size.
