Description
The PM040-A is an ON-Q Pain Relief System with SilverSoaker Antimicrobial Catheter** manufactured by Avanos Medical. This system provides the largest standard reservoir capacity (400 ml) paired with a 5-inch infusion segment, making it the primary choice for extended pain management in major surgeries with medium-to-large incisions.
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
Maximum Capacity Reservoir (400 ml): The high-volume elastomeric "balloon" allows for the longest possible therapy duration in the fixed-flow product line, ideal for complex recoveries.
SilverSoaker Technology:* 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.
5-Inch Infusion Segment: This length provides broad coverage for surgical sites in major orthopedic (e.g., total knee or hip) or abdominal procedures.
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).
Fixed Flow Rate: The rate is factory-set to 2 ml/hr, ensuring a consistent and safe delivery of medication over a multi-day recovery period.
