Description

the Avanos PM046-A is an ON-Q Fixed Flow Pump Kit* featuring a high-capacity reservoir and an extended SILVERSOAKER Antimicrobial Catheter*. This system is specifically designed for major surgical procedures where a single, long incision or a large surgical field requires continuous, non-narcotic pain relief for up to 3–5 days.

The "PM" designation indicates its use in post-surgical pain management, and the PM046-A is a single-site configuration optimized for maximum coverage.


Technical Specifications

  • Fill Volume: 400 mL.

  • Flow Rate: 5 mL/hr (Fixed flow).

  • Catheter Type: SILVERSOAKER* Antimicrobial Catheter (Silver-coated).

  • Catheter Soaker Length: 5.0 inches (125 mm).

  • Catheter Total Length: 29 inches (approx. 74 cm).

  • Needle Size: 17G Split Introducer Needle.

  • Sterility: Sterile, Single-Use (Ethylene Oxide sterilization).


Kit Contents

The PM046-A is a comprehensive convenience kit containing:

  • (1) ON-Q* Elastomeric Continuous Infusion Pump (400 mL).

  • (1) SILVERSOAKER* Antimicrobial Catheter (5-inch soaker segment).

  • (1) 17G Split Introducer Needle.

  • (2) Syringes (for filling and priming the system).

  • (1) Carrying Case/Pouch (for patient portability).

  • Dressings & Labels: Tegaderm®, Steri-Strip®, medication labels, and chart labels.


Key Features

  • Extended 5-Inch Soaker: This is the primary differentiator of this kit. The 5-inch infusion segment provides twice the coverage area of the standard 2.5-inch catheter, making it ideal for very long surgical incisions.

  • High Reservoir Capacity: With a 400 mL fill volume and a 5 mL/hr flow rate, the system provides approximately 80 hours (3.3 days) of continuous local anesthetic delivery.

  • Silver Antimicrobial Protection: The catheter is coated with silver to inhibit bacterial growth, reducing the risk of infection during the multi-day indwelling period.

  • Hollow-Fiber Technology: The "Soaker" design ensures the medication is distributed uniformly across the entire 5-inch length, ensuring consistent pain relief across the whole wound site.

  • Passive Elastomeric Infusion: The pump operates via a pressurized balloon, requiring no batteries or programming, which ensures reliability and ease of use for the patient at home.


Primary Uses

This 400 mL / 5 mL/hr kit with a 5-inch soaker is typically used for major surgeries involving long incisions, such as:

  • Major Abdominal Procedures: Including open colectomies, TRAM flap reconstructions, or large ventral hernia repairs.

  • Extensive Orthopedic Surgery: Such as long-bone trauma repairs or spinal surgeries where a long incision is made.

  • Thoracic and Cardiac Surgeries: For long thoracotomy incisions.

  • Large Plastic Surgery Procedures: Including extensive abdominoplasties (tummy tucks).
