Description
The PM050-A is an ON-Q Pain Relief System with SilverSoaker Antimicrobial Catheter** manufactured by Avanos Medical. This specific model is designed for procedures requiring the highest capacity reservoir (400 ml) and the longest available single-catheter infusion segment (10 inches).
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.
Key Features
Extended 10-Inch Infusion Segment: Featuring a 10-inch (25.4 cm) "soaker" zone, this system provides the broadest coverage available for a single catheter. It is ideal for very long incisions, such as those in major abdominal surgeries, extensive plastic surgery, or long spinal procedures.
SilverSoaker Technology:* The catheter is impregnated with silver for infection protection. It utilizes specialized hollow-fiber technology to ensure local anesthetic diffuses evenly across the entire 10-inch segment, preventing the "pooling" effect.
Maximum 400 ml Reservoir: The high-volume elastomeric pump supports long-term therapy, providing continuous pain relief for over a week at the standard flow rate.
Non-Narcotic Relief: By targeting pain directly at the surgical site, it significantly reduces the need for systemic opioids and helps minimize associated side effects like nausea and sedation.
Fixed-Flow Safety: The flow rate is factory-set to 2 ml/hr, ensuring a consistent and safe delivery of medication that cannot be accidentally adjusted by the patient.
