Description
The PM040 is an ON-Q Pain Relief System with a Standard Soaker Catheter** manufactured by Avanos Medical. This system features the largest standard reservoir capacity (400 ml) and a 5-inch infusion segment, designed for procedures that require a high volume of local anesthetic over an extended period.
Unlike the "-A" models, this version uses the Standard Soaker* catheter, which utilizes hollow-fiber technology for even drug distribution but does not have the antimicrobial silver coating.
Key Features
Maximum Capacity (400 ml): The high-volume elastomeric reservoir is ideal for managing pain in major surgeries where a larger amount of anesthetic is needed to maintain relief for several days.
5-Inch Infusion Segment: The 5-inch (12.7 cm) "soaker" zone provides broad coverage for medium-to-large surgical incisions, commonly used in orthopedic, thoracic, and abdominal procedures.
Standard Soaker Technology:* Uses a porous membrane to diffuse local anesthetic evenly across the surgical site. This prevents the "pooling" effect associated with traditional catheters that have simple side-drilled holes.
Fixed Flow Rate: Factory-set at 2 ml/hr to ensure a steady, regulated delivery. This eliminates the risk of patient error or accidental adjustment of the dosage.
Silent and Portable: The mechanical pump is powered by the tension of the elastomeric balloon, requiring no batteries or electronics, allowing the patient to remain mobile during recovery.
