Description
The PMP-18-100-SU is the product code for the Avanos Conventional Radiofrequency (RF) Probe in an 18 Gauge size.
This device is a single-use, sterile probe used to transmit radiofrequency energy from a generator to a target nerve, creating a heat lesion that interrupts pain signals.
Technical Specifications
Gauge: 18G (indicated by the "18")
Length: 100 mm (10 cm)
Tip Style: Straight (The absence of a "C" indicates this is a straight-tip probe)
Type: Single-Use/Disposable (indicated by the "SU")
Material: Nitinol (Nickel-Titanium alloy)
Color Code: Pink (The standard coding for 18-gauge Avanos RF components)
Key Features
Large Bore Diameter: The 18-gauge size is significantly thicker than the standard 22-gauge probes. This provides a larger surface area for the thermal lesion and makes the probe much more rigid and durable during insertion.
Nitinol Material: Like other Avanos probes, it is made of Nitinol. This "shape-memory" metal is highly resistant to kinking and ensures the probe remains straight even when passing through dense tissue.
Single-Use Safety: The "SU" designation means it is provided pre-sterilized and is intended to be discarded after a single patient procedure. This eliminates the risk of cross-contamination and the costs associated with hospital reprocessing/autoclaving.
Plug-and-Play Compatibility: It is designed for use with the Avanos Pain Management RF Generator. It must be paired with a matching 18G x 100mm RF cannula.
