Description
The PMP-18-145-SU is an Avanos Radiofrequency (RF) Probe*. This single-use electrode is designed to deliver radiofrequency energy to target nerves through a compatible cannula during ablation procedures.
The model number specifies an 18-gauge diameter and a 145 mm length, making it the standard choice for reaching deeper anatomical targets.
Key Features
Straight Probe Design: Unlike the "C" versions (e.g., PMP-18-145C-SU), this is a straight probe. It is typically paired with straight-shaft cannulas for direct-line approaches to the target nerve.
Single-Use (SU): Being disposable, this probe ensures high-fidelity temperature sensing for every procedure and eliminates the logistical costs and risks associated with cleaning and steam sterilization.
Precision Thermocouple: Contains a high-accuracy internal temperature sensor (thermocouple) that provides constant feedback to the RF generator, ensuring the lesion is created safely and effectively.
Nitinol Construction: Manufactured from super-elastic Nitinol alloy, which provides superior durability and resistance to kinking compared to traditional stainless steel probes.
Color-Coded Identification: Features a color-coded hub (typically Black for 18 G, often paired with a Pink Stylet) to allow for quick size identification in the procedure room.
