Description
The PMP-18-200C-SU is an Avanos Radiofrequency (RF) Probe*. This is the longest probe in the standard product line, specifically engineered for specialized radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedures where the target nerve is at a significant depth.
The model number indicates an 18-gauge diameter and a 200 mm length, with the "C" designating its compatibility with curved cannula shafts.
Key Features
Maximum 200 mm Length: This extra-long probe (approx. 8 inches) is designed for deep anatomical targets, particularly useful in patients with a larger body habitus or for specialized approaches like splanchnic nerve blocks.
Single-Use (SU): This disposable probe ensures the highest level of sterility and performance. It eliminates the logistical burden of cleaning and autoclaving while providing a fresh, highly sensitive thermocouple for every procedure.
Curved Cannula Compatibility: Manufactured from super-elastic Nitinol alloy, the probe can follow the trajectory of a curved cannula without kinking. This ensures the temperature-sensing tip reaches the end of the cannula for accurate real-time feedback.
Precision Thermocouple: Contains an internal temperature sensor that communicates directly with the RF generator to ensure the heat lesion is created at the exact temperature required for effective nerve ablation.
Color-Coded Hub: Features a Black hub and a Pink stylet, the standard color-coding for 18-gauge Avanos RF components, allowing for easy matching with 18 G cannulas in a busy clinical setting.
