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.

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).
