Description
The PM030-A is an ON-Q Pain Relief System with SilverSoaker Antimicrobial Catheter** manufactured by Avanos Medical. This system is specifically designed for procedures with exceptionally long surgical incisions, featuring a 10-inch infusion segment—the longest single-catheter "soaker" zone available in the product line.
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
Extended 10-Inch Infusion Segment: The 10-inch (25.4 cm) "soaker" zone provides broad, continuous coverage of local anesthetic. This is ideal for very large incisions, such as those found in extensive abdominal surgeries, plastic surgery (abdominoplasty), or long spinal procedures.
SilverSoaker Technology:* The catheter is impregnated with silver to provide antimicrobial protection. It uses a specialized hollow-fiber membrane to ensure the anesthetic diffuses evenly across the entire 10-inch segment, eliminating "hot spots" of medication.
Large 270 ml Reservoir: The elastomeric pump offers a high capacity, allowing for several days of continuous therapy without the need for batteries or electronic programming.
Non-Narcotic Pain Management: By targeting pain at the source, this system helps clinicians reduce a patient's reliance on systemic opioids, which can lower the risk of side effects like nausea, sedation, and constipation.
Fixed Flow Rate: The rate is factory-set to 2 ml/hr, ensuring a consistent and safe delivery of medication throughout the recovery phase.
