Description
The Avanos PMP-22-100C is a Reusable Curved Radiofrequency (RF) Probe. It is a precision electrode used in interventional pain management to deliver thermal or pulsed RF energy to target nerves through a compatible cannula.
The model number specifies its dimensions: 22 Gauge thickness and 100 mm length with a Curved tip.
Key Features
Nitinol Construction: Manufactured from super-elastic Nitinol alloy. This high-memory material allows the probe to pass through both straight and curved cannulae without permanent deformation or kinking.
Curved Tip Advantage: The curve at the distal end is designed to match the geometry of "CS" (Curved Sharp) or "CB" (Curved Blunt) cannulae. This ensures that the active tip of the probe maintains optimal contact with the internal wall of the cannula tip for efficient and consistent energy transfer.
Ultra-Thin 22-Gauge Profile: The 22G diameter (color-coded Black) is a thin-profile option designed to work with 22G cannulae, which are often chosen to minimize patient discomfort and tissue trauma during insertion.
Integrated Thermocouple: Contains a temperature sensor at the distal tip that provides real-time feedback to the RF generator. This allows the clinician to accurately monitor and maintain the lesion temperature (typically 80°C) for maximum safety and efficacy.
Reusable & Sterilizable: This is a non-sterile, multi-use device. It is designed to be steam-sterilized (autoclaved) between patients, making it a cost-effective choice for clinical practices.
Technical Specifications
Model Number: PMP-22-100C
Probe Gauge: 22 G
Probe Length: 100 mm (10 cm)
Tip Shape: Curved
Sterility: Non-Sterile (Reusable; requires autoclaving)
Color Code: Black (22 Gauge)
Compatibility: Designed for use with any 22G, 100 mm Avanos RF Cannula.
Primary Uses
Lumbar Medial Branch Neurotomy: Used to treat chronic lower back pain by targeting facet joint nerves. The 22G profile is ideal for clinicians who prefer a thinner needle approach.
Cervical Facet Denervation: Suitable for the neck region where anatomical structures are more superficial and a thinner probe may be preferred for patient comfort.
Precise Nerve Ablation: The curved tip allows for "steering" and parallel placement against the target nerve, which is critical for achieving a successful denervation.
Diagnostic Stimulation: Facilitates sensory and motor testing to confirm the probe is accurately positioned before creating the thermal lesion.
