Description
The PMP-16-145C-SU is an Avanos Single-Use Curved Radiofrequency (RF) Probe. It is specifically designed for deep-tissue thermal ablation where a large lesion size is required.
Technical Specifications
Model Number: PMP-16-145C-SU
Gauge: 16G
One of the thickest conventional RF probes available.
The large diameter provides a significant surface area for energy delivery, creating a broader thermal lesion.
Length: 145 mm (14.5 cm).
Designed for deep anatomical targets or patients with a larger body habitus.
Tip Shape: Curved (indicated by the "C").
Enables steering during insertion and positioning the active tip parallel to the target nerve.
Sterility: Sterile (Single-Use).
Sterilized via Ethylene Oxide (EO).
Eliminates the risks and costs associated with reprocessing or autoclaving.
Color Code: Black Hub (typically paired with a White Stylet).
Compatibility: Fully compatible with all Avanos/Halyard RF Generators (e.g., CRG-BASIC, CRG-ADVANCED, PMG-115).
Key Features
Maximized Lesion Profile: The 16-gauge diameter is engineered to create a larger zone of destruction compared to standard 22G probes, which is critical for capturing nerves with high anatomical variability.
Thermal Monitoring: Features an integrated Thermocouple (TC) sensor at the distal tip for precise, real-time temperature feedback to maintain therapeutic heat (usually 80°C).
Superior Stability: The thick, rigid shaft provides exceptional resistance to deflection, ensuring the probe remains on its intended path through dense tissue or ligaments.
Workflow Efficiency: As a pre-sterilized, single-use device, it features a built-in connector cable that allows the RF generator to remain outside the sterile field.
