Description
The PM020 is an ON-Q Pain Relief System with a Standard Soaker Catheter** manufactured by Avanos Medical. This system provides a 270 ml reservoir with a 5-inch infusion segment, designed for mid-to-large surgical sites where extended non-narcotic pain relief is required.
Unlike the "-A" models, this version uses the Standard Soaker* catheter (without the silver antimicrobial coating).
Key Features
Standard Soaker Catheter:* Features a 5-inch (12.5 cm) "soaker" zone. It uses a hollow-fiber design to diffuse the local anesthetic evenly across the surgical field, providing superior coverage compared to traditional holed catheters.
Large 270 ml Reservoir: The elastomeric "balloon" pump provides a significant volume of medication, supporting longer durations of therapy in a portable, non-electronic format.
Fixed Flow Rate: The rate is factory-set to 2 ml/hr, ensuring consistent delivery of medication and eliminating the risk of accidental adjustment by the patient.
Non-Narcotic Relief: Provides continuous local anesthesia directly to the source of pain, which helps reduce the patient's reliance on systemic opioids and minimizes associated side effects like nausea and constipation.
Portable and Silent: The mechanical pump requires no batteries and is silent, allowing the patient to recover comfortably at home or in the hospital while remaining mobile.
