Description
the PM015-A is an ON-Q Pain Relief System with SilverSoaker Antimicrobial Catheter** manufactured by Avanos Medical. This specific model is designed for surgeries with larger incisions, as it features a longer 5-inch infusion segment compared to the standard 2.5-inch models.
The "-A" suffix indicates the inclusion of the SilverSoaker* catheter, which provides antimicrobial protection and uniform medication diffusion across the surgical site.
Key Features
Extended 5-Inch Infusion Segment: The catheter features a 5-inch (12.5 cm) "soaker" zone. This longer segment is ideal for larger surgical incisions (such as those in orthopedic or abdominal procedures) where a broader area of tissue requires local anesthetic.
SilverSoaker Technology:* The catheter is coated with silver to inhibit bacterial growth on the device surface. It utilizes a porous membrane (hollow fiber) to ensure the anesthetic diffuses evenly, preventing the medication from pooling at a single exit point.
Large 270 ml Reservoir: The elastomeric "balloon" pump provides a significant volume of medication, allowing for extended therapy in a portable, non-electronic format.
Non-Narcotic Pain Management: By delivering continuous local anesthesia directly to the source of pain, the system helps reduce the patient's reliance on oral or IV opioids.
Fixed Flow Rate: The flow rate is pre-set at the factory to 2 ml/hr, ensuring a consistent and safe delivery of medication over several days.
