Description
The PM020-A is an ON-Q Pain Relief System with SilverSoaker Antimicrobial Catheter** manufactured by Avanos Medical. This system is specifically designed for mid-to-large surgical sites, combining a 270 ml reservoir with a 5-inch infusion segment.
The "-A" designation indicates the inclusion of the SilverSoaker* catheter, which provides antimicrobial protection to help inhibit bacterial growth on the catheter's surface.
Key Features
SilverSoaker Antimicrobial Catheter:* The catheter is impregnated with silver for infection protection. It utilizes hollow-fiber technology to ensure local anesthetic diffuses evenly across the entire 5-inch infusion segment, preventing "hot spots" of medication.
Large 270 ml Reservoir: The elastomeric "balloon" pump provides a substantial volume of medication, allowing for extended therapy duration in a portable, non-electronic format.
Non-Narcotic Pain Management: Delivers continuous local anesthesia directly to the source of pain, helping to reduce the patient's reliance on systemic opioids and their associated side effects (nausea, constipation, and sedation).
5-Inch Infusion Segment: This longer segment is ideal for mid-to-large surgical incisions, such as those in orthopedic or abdominal procedures.
Fixed Flow Rate: The flow rate is factory-set to 2 ml/hr, ensuring consistent and safe delivery of medication over several days.
