Description
The Avanos PMP-16-145C is a precision instrument designed for Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation procedures within the Avanos Pain Management System. It is an extended-length version of the 16 GA probe, providing the reach necessary for deeper anatomical targets.
Key Features
Extended Reach: The 145 mm length is specifically designed to reach deeper nerves or to navigate through thicker tissue layers that standard 100 mm probes cannot access.
Curved Tip Design: The "C" designation indicates a curved distal tip, which allows for directional steering and more precise placement around bony structures or specific neural pathways.
Nitinol Construction: Crafted from super-elastic nickel-titanium (Nitinol), providing high flexibility and durability. This allows the probe to maintain its shape and resist kinking during complex insertions.
Reusable & Steam-Sterilizable: This is a conventional reusable probe designed to be autoclaved between procedures, offering a cost-effective solution for facilities with high procedure volumes.
System Compatibility: Fully compatible with Avanos RF Pain Management Generators, including the PMG-115 and PMG-115-TD models.
Color-Coded Identification: Features white color-coding on the strain relief for immediate identification of the 16-gauge size in the clinical setting.
Technical Specifications
Model Number: PMP-16-145C.
Gauge: 16 GA.
Length: 145 mm.
Tip Shape: Curved.
Material: Nitinol Alloy.
Usage: Reusable (requires sterilization before use).
Sterilization: Steam Autoclave.
Primary Uses
Deep Nerve Ablation: Used for neurotomy in larger patients or for specific spinal levels where a longer approach is required to reach the target sensory nerves.
Chronic Pain Treatment: Ideal for procedures targeting the medial branch nerves (facet joint pain) or the sacroiliac joint when standard lengths are insufficient.
High-Stability Procedures: The 16-gauge thickness provides a rigid and stable platform for the 145 mm length, reducing the risk of probe deflection during deep tissue navigation.
