Description
The PM010-A is an ON-Q Pain Relief System with SilverSoaker Antimicrobial Catheter** manufactured by Avanos Medical. This system is a portable, non-narcotic infusion pump designed to deliver local anesthetic directly to a surgical site or near a nerve to provide continuous post-operative pain relief.
The "-A" designation indicates the inclusion of the SilverSoaker* catheter, which features an antimicrobial silver coating to help inhibit bacterial growth on the catheter's surface during the infusion period.
Key Features
SilverSoaker Antimicrobial Catheter:* The catheter is impregnated with silver to provide antimicrobial protection. It utilizes hollow-fiber technology to ensure local anesthetic diffuses evenly across the entire 2.5-inch infusion segment.
Compact 100 ml Reservoir: The elastomeric "balloon" pump is small and lightweight, making it ideal for procedures with lower medication volume requirements or shorter therapy windows.
Fixed Flow Rate: The rate is factory-set to 2 ml/hr, ensuring a consistent and safe delivery of medication without the risk of accidental adjustment.
Non-Narcotic Analgesia: By targeting pain at its source, the system helps reduce the need for systemic opioids, potentially decreasing side effects like nausea and sedation.
Mechanical Operation: The pump is entirely mechanical, powered by the tension of the elastomeric reservoir, meaning no batteries or power sources are required.
