Description
he PM048-A is an elastomeric infusion system used to deliver a continuous, controlled dose of local anesthetic directly into a surgical wound or near a nerve. It utilizes a mechanical, pressurized balloon to drive the medication. The "A" in the model number signifies the inclusion of an Antimicrobial SilverSoaker catheter*, which is impregnated with silver to help prevent bacterial colonization on the catheter surface during the infusion period.
Technical Specifications
| Feature | Specification |
| Fill Volume | 270 ml |
| Flow Rate | 2 ml/hr (Fixed) |
| Catheter Type | SilverSoaker* (Antimicrobial) |
| Soaker Zone | 2.5 inches (approx. 6.3 cm) |
| Catheter Length | 24 inches (approx. 61 cm) |
| Duration | Approx. 135 hours (~5.6 days) |
Key Features
Extended Duration: With a 270 ml capacity and a low 2 ml/hr flow rate, this system provides over 5 days of continuous pain relief, making it ideal for surgeries with longer recovery windows.
2.5-Inch Soaker Zone: The perforated segment of the catheter is 2.5 inches long. This distributes the local anesthetic over a wider area than the 1-inch models, providing better coverage for medium-sized incisions.
Antimicrobial Protection: The silver-impregnated catheter provides a zone of inhibition that helps reduce the risk of infection, a critical feature for catheters intended to remain in the body for up to 5 days.
T-Peel Introducer: The kit typically includes a 17 G introducer needle with a T-peel sheath to facilitate easy and sterile placement of the catheter into the subcutaneous tissue.
Clinical Application
The PM048-A is commonly selected for procedures requiring multi-day pain management and medium-length incisions, such as:
Hip Arthroplasty (Total Hip Replacement)
Knee Arthroplasty (Total Knee Replacement)
Moderate Abdominal Surgeries (e.g., colectomies or hysterectomies)
Thoracic Surgery
