Description
The PMP-16-100C-SU is an Avanos Single-Use Curved Radiofrequency (RF) Probe.
The "-SU" suffix indicates this is a sterile, disposable version, removing the need for reprocessing. It is a high-gauge, robust electrode used for conventional thermal RF procedures where a larger lesion is clinically desired.
Technical Specifications
Model Number: PMP-16-100C-SU
Probe Gauge: 16G
One of the thickest conventional RF probes available.
The large diameter provides a significant surface area for energy delivery.
Probe Length: 100 mm (10 cm)
Tip Shape: Curved (indicated by the "C")
Enables steering and positioning the active tip parallel to the target nerve.
Sterility: Sterile (Single-Use)
Sterilized via Ethylene Oxide (EO).
Eliminates cross-contamination risks and reprocessing time.
Color Code: Black Hub (typically paired with a White Stylet in the kit)
Compatibility: Fully compatible with Avanos/Halyard RF Generators (e.g., CRG-BASIC, PMG-115).
Key Features
Maximized Lesion Size: The 16-gauge diameter is designed to create a broader thermal lesion compared to standard 20G or 22G probes. This is particularly useful for capturing nerves with significant anatomical variability.
Thermal Accuracy: Integrated Thermocouple sensor at the distal tip provides precise, real-time temperature feedback to the generator to maintain therapeutic heat (usually 80°C).
High Rigidity: The thick 16G shaft offers superior stability and resistance to deflection, allowing for high tactile control when navigating dense spinal ligaments.
Streamlined Workflow: As a single-use device, it features a built-in connector cable of sufficient length to allow the RF generator to remain outside the sterile field.
