Description
The Avanos PM003 is a high-capacity model within the ON-Q Pain Relief System* specifically designed for epidural administration. It is the extended-duration version of the PM002, providing a continuous flow of local anesthetic over several days to manage post-operative pain.
Key Features
Extended Epidural Therapy: The large 270 mL reservoir supports a significantly longer infusion time, making it ideal for recovery from major surgeries that require multi-day pain management.
Epidural-Specific Configuration: Purpose-built for regional anesthesia, delivering medication directly into the epidural space to block pain signals before they reach the brain.
Non-Opioid Analgesia: Helps minimize the use of systemic narcotics, reducing associated risks such as respiratory depression, nausea, and sedation.
Maintenance-Free Operation: A completely mechanical system that utilizes elastomeric pressure; it requires no batteries, electricity, or complex electronic programming.
Radiopaque Catheter: The included catheter is visible under X-ray or fluoroscopy, allowing clinicians to verify precise placement within the epidural space.
Integrated Safety Filter: Equipped with a specialized filter to protect the sensitive epidural space from air and particulate contamination.
