Description
The Avanos PMP-22-54C (formerly Halyard/Kimberly-Clark) is a Reusable Curved Radiofrequency (RF) Probe. This precision electrode is designed for procedures requiring a very short needle length and a thin profile, typically for superficial nerve targets or pediatric applications.
The model number specifies its dimensions: 22 Gauge thickness and 54 mm length with a Curved tip.
Key Features
Short-Length Access (54 mm): At just 5.4 cm, this probe is one of the shortest in the Avanos lineup. It provides exceptional control for superficial targets where a standard 100 mm probe would be too long and cumbersome.
Curved Tip Advantage: The curve at the distal end matches the geometry of curved cannulae (e.g., PMF22-54-10CS). This ensures the probe tip maintains consistent contact with the internal wall of the cannula for efficient energy transfer.
Nitinol Construction: Made from super-elastic Nitinol. This material allows the probe to maintain its shape memory and flexible properties through repeated insertion and sterilization cycles without kinking.
Integrated Thermocouple: Features a temperature sensor at the distal tip for real-time temperature monitoring. This feedback to the RF generator is critical for maintaining precise lesion temperatures (typically 80°C) for patient safety.
Reusable & Sterilizable: This is a non-sterile, multi-use device. It is intended to be steam-sterilized (autoclaved) between procedures, offering a lower cost-per-procedure for clinics.
Color-Coded Hub: Features a Black hub (standard for 22G) to ensure it is matched correctly with 22-gauge cannulae.
Technical Specifications
Model Number: PMP-22-54C
Probe Gauge: 22 G
Probe Length: 54 mm (5.4 cm)

Primary Uses
Cervical Medial Branch Neurotomy: Often used for treating chronic neck pain where target nerves are located close to the skin surface.
Stellate Ganglion Blocks: Used for sympathetic nerve procedures in the neck where a shorter, thinner needle profile increases safety.
Superficial Peripheral Nerve Ablation: Ideal for targeting small or shallow nerves where a thin 22G profile minimizes tissue trauma.
Diagnostic Stimulation: Facilitates precise sensory and motor testing in superficial anatomical regions before a thermal lesion is created.
