A percutaneous radio-frequency ablation probe cannula is a rigid metal tube used to guide ablation probes through the skin into targeted tissues, primarily for treating chronic pain via nerve ablation. It also allows for fluid injection or aspiration, such as local anesthetics, during the procedure, and is designed to work with electrosurgical equipment.
These devices are typically single-use, insulated except for the distal tip, and come in various sizes and tip configurations. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their intended use and risk profile, with supply typically through medical distributors or directly from manufacturers to healthcare providers.
