Description
The PMK-18-100C is a Reusable Radiofrequency (RF) Probe Kit manufactured by Avanos Medical. This kit is a core component of the Avanos (formerly Halyard/Kimberly-Clark) pain management system, specifically designed to deliver thermal energy to target nerves to disrupt pain signals.
The alphanumeric code specifies its configuration: an 18-gauge diameter and a 100 mm length, featuring a curved tip geometry.
Key Features
Durable Nitinol Construction: The probe is crafted from super-elastic nitinol alloy. This material provides superior flexibility and durability, allowing the probe to withstand repeated use and sterilization cycles better than stainless steel.
Curved Tip Geometry: The curved distal end is designed to help clinicians navigate complex anatomy. It allows for more precise positioning near target nerves, especially when working around bony landmarks in the spine or joints.
Reusable & Sterilizable: This probe is validated for steam sterilization (autoclave). This makes it a cost-effective solution for facilities with high procedural volumes compared to single-use disposable probes.
Color-Coded Hub: The handle is color-coded to match the corresponding cannula gauge (typically pink or metallic for 18 G), ensuring a proper fit and preventing procedural errors.
Generator Compatibility: It is fully compatible with Avanos and Halyard Radiofrequency Pain Management Generators.
