Description
The PMC18-100-5 is an Avanos Radiofrequency (RF) Cannula*. This medical needle is used as a conduit for an RF probe during radiofrequency ablation procedures to treat chronic pain.
The model number indicates an 18-gauge diameter, a 100 mm length, and a 5 mm active tip.
Key Features
Straight Sharp Tip: The "PMC" prefix (as opposed to PMF) typically denotes a straight cannula design. This is used for direct, linear approaches to a target nerve where the steering capability of a curved needle is not required.
5 mm Active Tip: This model features a shorter active tip (the uninsulated portion at the end). A 5 mm tip creates a smaller, more focused heat lesion compared to the standard 10 mm version, which is useful when the target nerve is in a highly confined space or near sensitive structures.
Insulated Shaft: The cannula is insulated along the majority of its length to protect non-target tissues, ensuring the radiofrequency energy is only delivered to the specific area surrounding the 5 mm tip.
Color-Coded Hub: Equipped with a Pink hub (the industry standard for 18-gauge Avanos components) for rapid identification of the gauge size in a clinical setting.
Disposable: Sterile and single-use to ensure consistent sharpness for every patient and to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination.
